, have you ever come across a bike with air horns that have been fitted ?

I looked at the title of this thread and thought it was something to do with the Karate Kid - light on, light off ....

Light on. Always (can't turn mine off anyway but still, light on)

I ride like I'm invisible. Don't know how the cops can still see me though.....

My pet hate is tailgaters, especially after the accident on Blenheim Rd a couple of weeks ago... I always turn around and flip the bird at them and some other sign language to the effect of get the f%#k back!

Loud exhaust is the best safety accessory in my opinion! cagers need to be intimidated by motorbikes to respect them

I had a GSX750ex in the mid eighties and fitted twin air horns. There was just enough room above the exhaust headers to fit a trumpet facing each way (sideways) with the pump above. The biggest pain was a space to put the relay. In the end I just taped it onto the side of the headlight wiring loom.

**slimjim** · 9th April 2006, 13:48

sweet i was wondering about the relay,and its postion

**Oakie** · 9th April 2006, 14:35

On my bike there's no option but to have the light on and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Wow

.

I think i've just read the best thing here

"Don't really know what happened next, but I'd hit the brakes, started to swerve and lifted my left leg out straight in front. I planted my left boot on the front guard and somehow pushed my bike sideways in front of her car (GS1000 weighs a shit load!). My bike didn't touch her car, I just saved binning it, and I didn't break my leg. This was all reaction, there was no thinking going on, other than "oh shit"."

Well - fucking - done!!!

, Perhaps next time have a detachable baseballbat and put it thru her windscreen as your footpeg makes a nice thick fuckoff pinstripe in her bumper

Not aware of new bikes being fitted ex factory. Have fitted them to our bikes. Cones under the seat side pods & compressor under the seat or in the tail piece. I'm convinced they are effective....

easy to fix, cheap to buy... repco for like $30 for airhorns

great to have...

re: lights, am starting to think about having my brights on full time during the day... anyone polled this per chance?

edit: fark. just followed the link http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...ad.php?t=12994

/me IDIOT

re-edit: actually, it only asks who has lights on during the day... I'm interested to know who has their 'brights' on during the day

**.produKt** · 9th April 2006, 15:50

Nobody's polled it, but i have my high beams on during the day so the stupid housewives and soccermum's can see me. Black bike with black jacket and white helmet tho... i dont really see how that can be hard to see

**metric** · 9th April 2006, 15:52

haha... green bike, black jacket, black helmet... similar situation... use teh highs when I'm on the motorway clipping along

**sunhuntin** · 9th April 2006, 17:45

light on always...though i have been forgetting lately. i dont use the high except at night if im going along a pitch black street or on the highway/country roads. if i get passed dangerously i will flick to high and follow for a while.

in all honesty, i think if we had xmas lights and flashing lights on our lids theyd still claim ignorance. "i didnt see you" "and since when are blind people allowed to drive?"

had an old codger drive headfirst into a big fat cement pole in an underground carpark once.....and that was painted yellow around the top half. dumass.

**.produKt** · 9th April 2006, 19:09

Haha!. Although i must admit, ive just come back from a 3 hour long cruise (im knackered yes -_-) from chch central to diamond harbour, littleton, govenors bay and then some and i must say, although i felt like i were riding thru hicksville i never got cut off, never got followed closely or anything.

BUT! and its a full, round boded rich 'but', i did get overtaken by at least 6 bikes comin back from diamond harbour.... i wonder who it was....
