Just get even follow the cager till they stop, then remove there valve stems from there tires. Hard to do with truckers because they travel a lot farther.

Do people still beleive that a loud exhaust makes people more aware of your presence?
Sadly... yes
I like the 139db horn, my exhaust is approx only 98db. http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...rrent=Dyno.flv

I may still get the horn.

I got one of those "ooooga" horns. That's what I call it. It's really old, and sounds like the Herbie the Love Bug horn... Almost like it talks... AAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGAA!!!! It would look pretty hot with that thing mounted to the bike tho
I'm gunna haveto keep that freight train horn in the back of my mind though. I bet it'd be cool.

i put the dual hellas on my bike - worked great for a while but i think the heat of the exhaust header got to them. have to find a cooler location for them.

Holy crap....139 db....I just ordered it.

I'll post an audio when I get it.......unless it breaks my camera microphone.
Here's the Stebel site page with the sound clip. Sounds like a mini freight train. COOL!

I like the design of those hellas. looks like they could mount a little easier? Got a sound clip?

My air-horns saved my *** two weeks ago from getting smashed between a trash truck and a concrete barrier at 45mph
