Re: Very loud Airhorn

I certainly don’t disagree with anything you have said. As bikers we have to read the road for our own sakes because some vehicle drivers just don’t think. Horns have their place though and it can’t hurt to have a loud one can it.

Re: Very loud Airhorn

Bloody hell Dark, ever the optimist. You are right of course but marginal gains can make a difference. If you are able to have enough time to read a situation and sound a horn then it adds a few more percentage points the the side of luck / fate or whatever you believe in. I have loud cans do starsh...

I have often wondered if a car horn could fit in the original horn position for a bit more get out of the wayness? Aren’t most car horns two tone?

Re: GrainStorm V

I got back lunchtime today. Due to creative rule interpretation my 867 mile weekend did not win me the distance prize but, hey ho, Pete deserves it for sheer consistency. I was honoured to meet you Mac for the first time and also all the other strange people: http://www.corbridge-net.co.uk/wicky.jp...

Re: GrainStorm V

Just on a coincidental note Mac, I do know the original owner of you Smokin Joe! I messaged him yesterday and he replied today after he dug out some old paperwork. Jonesey will know him too, Rod Chapman..

When I started her up though I've got a horrible rattle coming from behind the rear cylinder when I blip the throttle. Can't find anything obviously loose but Im hoping it's co...
