RE: Mirrors??
Off the top of my head, I would have said "Yes". Doing some research, however, made me find this out:
Idaho does not require a mirror at all.
Indiana only requires one if the bike was manufactured after 1/1/1956.
Kansas, Louisiana, and the District of Columbiarequire a left mirror.
Maryland, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Washington require both a left and right mirror.
Pennsylvania requires two mirrors if the bike was manufactured after 4/1/1977.
All the remaining states require one mirror.

Yeah, mirrors are kinda important. Buddy of mine got fleeing and eluding b/c he didn't check his mirrors for an hour on the highway. He was riding his usual crazy pace and got a call when he got to his destination because his riding partner had spotted the cops and stopped. He came back and was cited for not having mirrors and when he went to pay the ticket he found out he had a warrant for fleeing and eluding. Keep at least one mirror. Needless to say, I never try to keep up with him.

RE: Mirrors??
I just look. my didnt have any one when I bought the bike. i was going to get some, but I like looking more, i have ridden bikes with mirrors and i had to look anyways because i couldnt see everying anyways. probably not the safest way to go i know.
as far as the law goes, i live in florida and have not had a cop say anything to me yet, mabey just because i had nice cops though, they didnt say anything about my plate being way up under my tail either.

Mirrors are there to assist the rider. They're not meant to ONLY be used when changing lanes. You are supposed to use your mirrors for quick glances, and head check when changing lanes. If you're doing 45 and it takes you 2 seconds to look back just to check on traffic behind you, you've just covered 132 feet without looking. In city traffic, that's a little scary. Mirrors are invaluable, because you always have an extremely quick way to check on what's going on behind you, without physically moving your head.
My two cents anyway.
