Turkey wings; do you use them??

There's countless discussion about the relative merits and usefulness of these things. "Safety Levers"...is that what they're technically called? I dunno. I"ve never used them, but I do have some and was thinking of using them in lieu buying anything. They're the Dia Compe levers that came on my '83 Univega Gran Turismo. In pondering their use, I just can't see them being totally useless. IOW's, would they not at least be useful at trimming speed? Not full on hard breaking as I know they're not good at that.

Anyway, do you use them? How are they working for you? Anything you've done to improve upon them actually making them useful?

Show a pic....if you ain't skeered to

Thanks!!!
