Is 139DB Overkill for a motorcycle horn?

For the money involved, these WOLOs are well worth it. Especially the first time some brain dead cellphone texting idiot tries to occupy the same space as you are on a freeway

Those are girlie horns! Here are manly horns (be sure to listen to the test at the end of the link:

Manly Horns

Now if I could only figure out how to mount them on my bike

Really horns are of little value except if some slow speed thing like a Walmart parking lot and someone is backing out and doesn't see you. They actually are a nuisance and I'd rather they were not available to people most the time. A horn to me is the same as flipping someone off most the time. I read the various newsgroups and see the guys that say "I was riding and saw a car that was not going to stop for a stop sign as I was approaching an intersection. I laid on the horn, but they still did not stop and we had the big TBONE." Well you waste time fumbling with your thumb instead of using evasive action? idiot. Sorry, but ride to stay alive, don't use your thumb.

I disagree. My horn has saved me more than a few times when some driver changes lanes in front of me and I have no place to go. The louder the better.

Pull in clutch, give her a swat, release clutch, idiot is now awake
