Aware riding, saves lives.


I have a philosophical beef with loud bikes (Hogs, etc). If I can get a 98db ticket, they should too.

I agree that some bikes are over the top, but at the same time a Chevy volt going through a neighborhood will be unheard by the kids. Yet when I drive my car through a neighborhood all the kids have stopped playing and are watching to see what is coming.

And when I hit the horn I want to get the buggers attention instead of just ignoring it. And a good deal up here are honked at so much they don't even look.

The neighborhood has no sound floor of 75db like cruising down the highway has...big difference.

You hear your car a block away at least..a bike..he's already -there-.

Nothing is more annoying, then making a bunch of noise, but not doing nothin!! I see/hear it alot with harleys, honda civics with coffee cans, ex-wifes......

I love the giggles from folks when I hit my stock 928 horn.....



If........they hear it....

I vote Hella Horn Kit !! Just enough and not to over the top at 110db.

When a car in front of me stopped and started backing up, I was very glad to have the Bad Boy installed. Stopped him just in time.

The problem is that sometimes you want the polite little beep (preferably not too wimpy though) to say OK the lights changed - lets wake up & go...

Then there are the times you wan't to say GET OUT OF THE WAY YOU STUPID *******.

Seems you need a different horn for these two scenarios. I think a true soft/loud horn would be good - blip the horn and you get a quiet beep or beep beep on the stock horn - hold it down and it gets real loud as the "extra manly" horns kick in in addition after ~1/3 second...

Extra relay for the "extra manly" set on a delay after the first horn fires... not so hard...

Plus if an officer ever stops you you show him - beep beep - it wasn't me I just have these normal horns - must have been someone else...perfect.

Not quite the argument at hand...but yes, having a horn helped.

Late 50's Renault Dauphine had this cool little selector switch for city horn vs highway horns. No clue why they needed a highway horn. But the switch was cool.

A nice setup I saw before was a few trumpet horns inside an engine bay (4-6 I believe) not large in size. The compressed air hoses ran underneath a car and into the trunk. It connected to a chrome aircompressor which was mounted in the front. Looked very professional. I sounded like a train when the guy pressed the horn down. I was a passenger in the vehicle, and when people would attempt to cut you off and the horn was pressed, they would sworve back into their lane like they just cut off a speeding semi truck. My friend actually had to order alot of custom fittings so he could stick with his design.
