my apologies bentsrider, i was looking at the product and how it was listed as a device OF the dickheads that we deal with in just about each and every ride. It seems on the website its sold as ''be the biggest loudest douche out of all your friends! Yeah!'' However, rigged to a bicycle....sweet justice.
I drive big-rigs as a living any chance I get(inactive for the time-being), so I actually know how to utilize these things properly.
The wannabe's who think they're truckers, but work some weak, white-collar shit, need to be put on the spot every once in awhile.
The entire system weighs about as much as the current stereo unit I have, but I might devise a way to utilize one of the spare 24oz, CO2 tanks I got for my Tippmann.
Those have some mad compression within, so they'll last long enough to toot!!!

If you don't want to spend a ton of money on the ultimate air horns, you can spend $13 on the ones at harbor freight.

I saw those over there and thought about it, so I'll try one out and see if does justice.
As for these large chrome ones, the air chambers seem to be specifically designed to channel the air into making that unique sound.
I may also press it into service whenever my trucking career is allowed to take off again, the stock horns on those company Volvo's suck ass.
LOL this dude's the Grand Master of the big horn! There's a shit load of videos on youtube that he posted up. Would be assume to have him join us next time out at Slab City, huh?
Cops are so funny sometimes. Searching for the ship that got lost in the mountains. LOL

Does anyone remember that CRANK Mob, maybe like a year and a half ago, where a beige Jeep with one of these horns was not only blasting this as he drove by the ride, but repeatedly (for like, the next 15 minutes) kept coming back to drive aggressively past the ride, swerving at Ridazz and laying on the horn? And even coming back to lay on the horn after we'd stopped at a grocery store? The only thing worse than a crazed, drunk, aggressive driver is a crazed, drunk, aggressive driver with a completely douchey $600 toy (OK, you're an asshole, WE GET IT.) While it'd be fucking awesome to have one of these on a bike (the very first place I'd want to take it is the bikes-only bike path in Venice that's mostly populated with clueless pedestrians), I think that drivers who buy these are giving a highly accurate indication of their tiny dick size.
Believe me, once I have all my back-pay drama in order, I'm going for one of those $300-$600 train horns.
Another good place I might try is a railroad junkyard or a US Navy/USCG equipment auction.
If a train horn is loud, just think of the damage the horn off of a 30-40ft gun/patrol boat could do.
With all my time being stuck up here, I'm thinking the only cool way to make cycling cool up here would be to throw things like this into the mix.
As for the system I threw together above, I'm going to see if the paintball shop will still refill the spare tanks for the Tippmann.
Slap a valve onto that baby and we'll be able to take this thing into places no one will dare!!!!

Here's a redo of my Harbor Freight, $15 special I bought a few days.
This time I mounted an 18V drill battery behind the seat and mounted the horns on the underside with velcro, electrical tape, an old tube, and topped it with a velcro strap.
However, for the price, the sound isn't as loud as I thought it would be so I'll let y'all be the judge.
