Just remember

90% of motorcycle accidents the car driver will say "I didn't see him". So, drive like everyone else is a bleedin' idiot and you'll be OK, and at least half right.

Owen;
I'll agree to that!! First day out the wife is coming home on it. New licenses new full face helmet and all; and some blue hair ole-lady turns right it front and the bike gets laid on the ground!!
At the moment that $250.00 helmet paid for it's self right laong with the safety classes.

As the saying goes "A noisy bike is a safe bike"

A set of cheap air horns does wonders for "blue hair old ladies". Used them in Snow bird country (Arizona) more than once they saved me.

Yes sirs they work!!
Actually pulled the ones from my old MB 300D and wired them up :0 BUT just alittle to late for the right side of the bike :( however, parts are easy to order and looks like new, sorta..

NOW people duck when they're blown. Did have to put in a new battery though.
Most batts these come with are little 9Ahr Lead-Acids.

I have FULL motorcycle coverage on this little gem.

Cheers
