Times When Having Just a Horn Isn't Enough

 

Some people quarrel with the notion that "Loud Pipes Save Lives".  The
truth is, while they may not save many, they probably provide
something that a horn alone cannot do, and that could save a life or
two.

For instance, once in awhile (not often) a traffic situation may
develop where the drivers nearby need to be reminded (or alerted) that
you're there - perhaps just as you prepare to make a move out of a
tight spot that cars cannot perform.

But if they may already know you're there, honking your horn will be
mis-intepreted (perhaps tempting a driver to thwart you in
retaliation).

THAT is when a couple of blips of the throttle (assuming your bike's
pipes are loud enough) will fill the bill.  You're not sending a
message.  You're not indicating impatience.  You're not really
indicating anything for sure (for all they know, you could be just
checking your engine).  But it's a quick draw of attention at a time
when you need it, just as a precaution.

 



What, a big Hardley ridin' dud like you can't handle any shit he
starts with the cagers?

Who knew?

 


Don't forget the bear suit.  That will end the confrontation before it even
starts.

If I saw a guy in a bear suit, I would run.

Reminds me of a cartoon.  First frame shows some campers doning bear suits
to scare the locals.  Next frame shows two hillbillies inspecting the suit
and commenting "Jeeze, Jim-Bob blowed that bar's hide clean off his back!".
