Took the trusty Eldo out Saturday and, after a mile or so, the horns started
to blow. Last ride was a few days ago in a major rain, so I figure water
got into the horn switch or somehow the wiring to the horn got found a new
ground. No big deal. I stopped beside the road, disconnected the wires from the
horns, and taped them so they could not short against the frame.
What to do now? The stock horns look neat, but are not very loud. After I
fix the wiring, how do I get real horns? Can these be taken apart, cleaned,
and transformed into serious warning devices? Or do I replace them, and if so,
with what? Any experience in this area will be appreciated.
Also, note that there will be a European bike rally in Pueblo on June 17,
18, & 19. It is held in conjunction with the local art museum opening a three
month exhibit on motorcycles, the bikes, the music and the art associated
with them. I am in charge of rounding up the European bikes (Harley's are the
other half of the bike exhibit) and we have some really great bikes for the
show. Cost of the rally is Zero, as in Free. Great town, interesting bikes,
and good nearby mountain roads to ride. Contact me for further info. Italian
bikes will be well represented.
