Yeah, there's a horn but it's one of those lame ones. My bike has an aftermarket exhaust on it and honestly, it's a lot louder than the horn when not idling.

I'm all about proper placement on the roads though in order to avoid these kinds of situations.

my exhaust is a lot louder than my stock horn and i do the same thing. at least the person realized you were there and maybe recognized her mistake. i've revved at people angrily and gotten not even a glance.

i bought an aftermarket horn and plan to install it soon.

that would be assuming i give a fuck what people think of me. my only goal is to get someone's attention who otherwise isn't paying any attention. i couldn't care less if they think i'm showing off (or if they think i'm an asshole for that matter), as long as i'm alive to bitch about it in my livejournal later.
