I took the recommendation of someone in here and purchased one of those
Stebel air horns about a year ago.
Definitely gets attention compared to the puny stock motorcycle horn.

Sticking with the corrosion theme...
A few years ago, I bought my daughter a nice car. As I was over at a
friend's shop, going through it to check safety items, change fluids
etc. I discovered the horn didn't work. I checked all the
connections and so on, and finally pulled the horn. I asked my buddy
if he had any ideas. He took the horn, threw it ten or so feet up in
the air and let it hit the cement floor. He did it a couple of more
times then picked it up, handed it to me and said, "Try it now." Sure
enough, it worked fine. The little sound making doo-hickey had
corroded together and all it needed was some jolts to free it up.

Wonder if that procedure would work in getting my kids to do something
around the house?
