Never use the horn - no-one cares about that. Just give 'em a blast on the pipes. Reckon they sometimes dirty their pants if you do it by their open window.

In traffic, I ride with my left thumb on the horn button and my right forefingers on the right brake lever.

I went for the horn the other day and missed when some impatient woman didnt feel like waiting for me to turn, so she passed me on the right, in MY lane because there was a car on the side of her.

I use the sound of my pipes. I don't want to mess with the horn in an emergency and besides the pipes are louder

I usually hit the bright light switch rather than the horn....
