Hi Bwucie. Where is the horn button on the r1100 ? never bother to use horn on M/C so don't see what all the fuss is about, if someone gets my way I ride round them, it's worked for the last 52 years.   :roll:  Phil

This post crossed my mind this evening.  I was crossing the Victoria Park Flyover at 4pm today in busy and very wet and windy conditions.  I was in the right hand lane on slick seal with two solid lines of traffic.  A vehicle to my left and slightly in front, one up my chuff and one about 3 seconds directly in front all doing about 80kph.  I sensed the one on the left was about to pull over and sure enough started to pull left and indicator on at the same time!!  Didn't have a clue that I was there and it was a blast on the Siebel that warned him/her  of my position and caused a hasty change of mind :cry:.  No chance of riding out of danger and I wasn't going to close the gap to the car in front in those conditions.  The horn is a useful addition to your safety gearfor sure.
