I have an open exhaust on the Daytona, and air horns, and a +50% light yet they cant see or hear me...
Maybe mynameis is right, a loud horn wont help you be noticed until they have pulled out or changed lanes but short of building a bike mounted pleb seeking flare gun you don't have many options.
Yes you will scare some of them, one or two might panic...
So now they can share that spinctor (sp?) clenching moment too.
Mynameis, I know you mean well but we ether learn to react to people trying to kill us or we A, stop riding. Or B, die.
Its this "Oh what about the feelings of others" and associated bullshit that is why I spend more time in the shed, and less and less here.
We all have our little obsessions...
Please be careful. Excessive "horniness" could result in an uncomfortable riding position therefore causing a loss of concentration with the result loss of bike control and possible injury to innocent bystanders. This in turn could lead to your appearance in court on a variety of charges. Are you sure you want to take this risk?![]()
yes...totally agree..motig....never thought of it that way..excesive horniness can get u in all sorts of strife.both on the bike and off it.ask my wifes sister
I feel the need to weigh in on this debate.
A horn is a warning device, nothing more, nothing less and as far as i'm concerned the stock horns on bikes are completely useless, you would get the same warning effect from a bicycle bell.
Consider the fact that an open pipe is more often than not, louder than that a stock horn.
The standard driver reaction to a loud horn/siren is to pull left as quickly as possible, this "ingrained" reaction could save your life, but only if they hear you and the stock horn on a bike will never provoke this reaction from a driver.
Sure the Stebel is loud, yes it can be used to scare the crap out of a cage driver, but that is not what it's for and i'm not the "acceptable use" police... i fitted mine for the plain and simple reason that the stock horn on a bike is SHIT! and it has saved my life on at least 2 occasions.
I don't use it to scare people, i use it to let the blind cage drivers of auckland know that they are about to kill me ... and it works.
Fitting a loud horn to your bike is not about scaring people .. it's about staying alive by being noticed.
Thats my 2 cents anyway ...
Horns are very useful. Last time I used one was as I wheelied past a bus full of Italian girls on the Coast of Amalfi (3/5/07). If I hadn't been tooting the horn they may not have been screaming & waving as I lifted my visor and winked at them lol![]()
