Who wants a Stebel?

[WarlockNZ]

my neighbours came and told me it was more that loud enough.

LOL ... it's loud enough .. ha ha .. if you want to sound louder than a derailed freight train ... might i suggest and air raid siren ? .. ha ha.

Seriously tho ... anything is better than the crap all bikes come with as standard.. Christ .. a bell from a push bike would be better than a stock horn.

Welcome to the horny club my friend .. ha ha .. use your 139Db horn of vengeance for good ... not for evil.

there is a utube vid somewhere where this guy put a train horn in his cage and goes around scaring the crap our of peds. I could try one of those next.

Where may I get a train horn from then? I guess I'd need a big compressor to run it? Might be a blast for a meet.

Any idea on arrival dates?

Could have done with it on Sat.

Had always fantasied putting air-horns on a bike (as long as it didn't play "La Cockooracha").

these look good but i've always found that by the time you use your horn it's already too late

it's more of a 'fuck you' than a 'watch out'

Disaggree there. Have warned off many a hawk by using my horn early enough and has saved me from backing/turning motorist too. The trick is to use ya horn early. Don't wait ta see if they have seen ya yet. Assume they haven't and give them a toot. Works wonders.

Too late to get orders in?

And what was the final decidced price?
May be getting two if they are cheap enough.

Second order was shipped on the 28th of Feb.
Based n the first order, it will be at least 3 weeks.

I will be placing another order once the dust from this one settles ... so watch this space.

Final Prices are always dependant on the exchange rate but the last two have been 75 for the Nautilus and 40 for the magnum.

Good point.
One of the crashes I had was where I was fairly certain the guy hadn't seen me, and was going to blow the horn. He then pulled into the kerb, and I thought "Oh good - he's seen me, and overtook, just as he cracked a u-turn."
Now I give the horn a blip if someone's backing out or whatever, just to say, "Watch out - I'm here!"

Sometimes tootling someone who has seen you also works wonders. I bought the dual Fiamms because I was on my way to Repco to check'em out, and a lady saw me coming, and went anyway. The feeble "Beeep!" from the OEM horn did nothing to say "Fuck you!" or chastise the woman at all. The incident did make my mind up for me though!

And this morning - I took off from the traffic lights, a guy on a GiveWay to the left looked at me, and went anyway. It was very satisfying to hold my thumb on the horn button for 3 seconds or so (you need to do it loud enough to say "Fuck you!" and to get people to look and see what's going on).

[NordieBoy]

Yep, the stock horn just says "Hello".

[vifferman]

Yep, the stock horn just says "Hello".

No - the stock horn is teh ghey; it says, "Umm... excuse me... would you please mind not getting in my way? I wouldn't want to have to hit you with my handbag..."

[NordieBoy]

No no no.

You tootle the stock horn and (if they hear you) they just wave back thinking you're just saying hello and then they get a weird look when they realise they don't know you and that you must have erroneously tooted because you thought you knew them.

Nothing at all to do with the U-turn they just pulled in a 70kph zone.

[WarlockNZ]

It would seem that our order has been delayed.

The good guys at nippy normans didn't have enough stock .. HA HA

So ... where do we stand ... well .. the order was finally shipped today and the guys have shipped it via UPS at their cost ... so i can track the order and let you know whats going on.

The good thing about UPS is that it will probably be here quicker than it would have anyway.
