Auto/Motorcycle never used the horn except on safety check. If you have time to use the horn then you can do defensive driving. Don't see their value like said above it is just another way to give the finger.

Where is the horn button I have to go look.

By the time proven method. Practice, practice and more practice. Provides muscle memory.

That way you won't be giving some jack wad the left turn signal. Blink, blink take that you SOB!

Having said that good defensive driving skills usually lead to not having to use the horn.

Most of the time if you hear my horn, it's 5:00am and I'm trying to hit the high beams to open the garage door.

Great idea but(t) there are always special circumstances. If the seat could detect clamping your butt, what would happen in the following situation? You eat Mexican food, hop on the bike and 5 miles down the road your lunch begins reacting violently and it's all you can do to keep from soiling your shorts. Your horn would be going off continuously. Maybe that would be a good thing to get people the hell out of your way.

I hit the horn and high-beams simultaneously.

Around here using the horn is the equivalent of flipping the bird anyway. It just makes the other driver mad.


All a horn is good for is hopefully getting someone else's attention and then hopefully having them react the way you wish them to react.

Forget that stuff.

For the longest time I actually thought my horn was broke - until I happen to try it with the bike off

Horn works..., V&H work better

I never use my horn. Rap of the pipes works for me. I can fart louder than the stock MoCo horn lol.

At one point, I was tempted to get a Wo-Lo because the stock horn sucks. And like I said, I can't find the button, so I figured what's the use in getting it?
