Not where I live. I am constantly bobbing, weaving, & keeping a sharp eye out for those who are on cell phones & texting. Not to mention the ones that just plainly don't see you. I had a Bad Boy on my Sportster, loved the loud factor, but I hit a chuck-hole in the road & it broke being plastic. I will still look to find a loud one that is made of metals & chrome that looks great on my FLSTS2.
What's it like to ride there? Any issues?

You take your life into your own hands in the week!'
The weekends are a different story! the roads are empty, its great!
All year long sunshine, a couple of days rain per year, head out of Dubai and in half an hour you hit aw some mountain roads that seem to go on forever,

Would love to do the Pacific Highway, am planning to ride around Italy in the summer, spend some time around the lakes then up in the Mountains,
We are paying about $1.74 98 for Super 98 Octane, not bad hey... think its the 4th cheapest in the world at the moment, that along with no taxes make it pretty easy going!
Cheers,
Charlie

Packin' where I'm from means there is a .45 under your vest.  In my case a .40 S&W.

That's amazing Charlie, I just paid 4.09 and rising here in Florida. Your trip sounds like a winner. I would have loved to bike Italy the many times I have been there.
I have a friend visiting here from Manchester & looking for a ride for him while here for 3 weeks. Weather there is not conducive to Motorcycles. Well, back out to polish my chrome.....LOL!...Gary.

I went with the mini beast. Did the swap myself this winter. Loud, but not obnoxious and sounds like a horn. Fits perfect with the style of my bike. I can not post pics right now as the bike is in storage and can't get a good picture of it where it is. I also like that the sound goes out sideways, not forward or down. Forward would just go right into my fairings.

There's many threads on this site regarding horns if you need more info   :2vrolijk_21:

So here is the pic of my Pro Pad mini beast. I went with the Typhoon. After all the color of my bike is Typhoon Maroon

I want to get a set of those braided plug wires. Did they effect the performance in any way?   G.
