Starring SeanH, Whinging Courier and me.
What a bloody lovely long ride that was.
We met in Royal Tunbridge Wells, bimbled around and then hooned to
Eastbourne, Hastings and finished off in Rye.
Denim Jacker & Jeans weather it was.

P.S. Does anyone make extra-loud motorcycle horns? I was *almost* an
unfortunate victim of a rather unfortunate high-speed SMIDSY and I'm
sure if I had a louder horn then they would have heard me from further
away.
I suppose it would have to work from a normal B6 battery.

As described in:
< http://82.193.8.13/product/productzoom.aspx?catid=0.13.24&am p;id=26>
They all seem pretty loud to me if one looks at the Db levels. I do
need to work out, somehow, how loud my existing horn is as a
comparison.

I high frequency next to a lower frequency one would probably do the
business.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember BGN <nickmooney [at] spamcop.net> saying
something like:

Just go into Halfrauds. They do a Ring copy of the FIAMM pair of horns
for around £20. I just fitted a set to the RS as the originals were
looking tatty. FUCK ME are they loud, better than the originals. I've
had some fun with geriatrics dawdling in the overtaking lane since.
Several cardiac arrests I expect.
