Default Can you HEAR ME NOW, M-Fer??!?!?

After years of blaring my wimpy *** motorcycle horn at the ignorant cagers on Chicagoland's E-ways and surface streets - it finally had enough and gave up the ghost a couple weeks ago. It now resembles something more of a half broken squeaker toy that your dog has chewed to bits, and has become the laughing stock of our local group.

Well laugh no more! After being inspired by a friends' Triumph Speed Triple - I decided to go the max... or at least as far as I could without mounting a horn from a cruise ship on my bike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ3vw7rELA0 ) so as to preserve handling, and I went ahead and got me a set of Hella Supertones! They arrived today - so guess what I am doing on the next rainy day?

This dual-element horn kit (with relay) is a disgusting mix of tones that generates an annoying and startling noise up to 118db. If that doesn't get some cagers attention, then the next step is mounting a minigun.

oh wow. Very annoying.
It should work great! On my Explorer I had, it had a 'dual horn.' It was loud, obnoxious, and I used it about every time I got behind the wheel.
