    How do you improve a bike horn?

    Mine is absolutely rubbish above 50mph and sounds more like a trapped boy (I'm not Austrian by the way).
    Any suggestions?

    Hahaha! Will it also discourage horny cows from chasing you while your life is flashing before your eyes? I always panic a bit in that kind of situation ...

    I'll be looking into this option, me thinks!

    well, to be honest, I have no idea what they intend to do to me and the AT if they ever caught up ... but having just painted the old girl, I'd rather not find out

    Wait a minute ... are we both talking about the 4 legged ones, with big brown eyes and a peculiar smell?

    ermmmmm......the one we had in Italy run away in 1946..and there wasn't much "royal" about them in the first place...
    I think we had the record of the shortest king in the whole of Europe......someone had to shorten his sward so he wouldn't drag it around......! And he was commander in chief of the army....no wander LV's grandad lost the war......
