Interesting post, Jack; very informative.

I think I've pressed my horn button once, when I picked the bike up. The way I see it, if you've time to sound your horn, you've time to take alternative action that takes you away from any danger. That said, a decent horn is on my list,,,it's near the bottom, tho. I'm thinking of a proper air horn; the amount of use it would get, the gas would last me forever.
