Whew emoticon I'm reading all of this thinking, "Serioulsy??? I've used my horn legitimately ONCE in the last six months."
I use mine daily, Toronto has some really really dumb drivers.
Try driving in Los Angeles
see,this is my point.
i do ride in la.
no problemo.
i feel the time i waist pushing the horn and the danger of flipping off and taking my mind off whats really going is greater than just avoiding and movin on with my ride. Nerd emoticon
It'd be nice in a perfect world to just avoid and move along,
But in Toronto where cabbies just suddenly move into your lane beside
you without looking, You really need a friggin loud horn to stave them off.

Sometimes wished I had a battle axe too.

No need for a battle-axe, silly goose. Just pimp your Vespa out with one of these:
No longer a need for a horn either!

...and your commute is ...What? five minutes from your house?
Okay...That might be unfair, Ten minutes?

Do you travel north to work and south toward home after work?
If you do then that might explain why you don't use your horn.

I hade trouble using my horn when I needed it, because I could never find its position in time. Then I decided that everytime I see a hot lady, I would do a quick, hello, two honk as I ride by and usually get a response. Most of the time it would be a smile, but not always. Sometime its nasty. Practise makes perfect, problem solved.

Yes, I had that problem too with the P200E,
Not used to the horn button changing position every time I shifted,
It seems to be a common problem.

But looking at the lever more seems to help,
It's a required glance, Have to look into the future now and again.

Just the GPS, The speedo doesn't work accurately,
That GPS has saved me from a lot of possible speeding tickets.
