Personally despise them. Keep that crap in Europe. Americans hang on the fence screaming “YEEEEAAAHH!” Now all I hear is those things.. so annoying

I don't like them but the riders probably like hearing them.

Don't come to a GP or a MXdN in Europe whatever you do Laughing Some Swiss fans this weekend had a superbike engine trackside by the sounds of it

I’ve been carrying one for the past few years now to cheer on my favorite privateers. I don’t use it unless I’m front row hanging over the fence though.

I was going to say if someone doesn't like air horns they better stay away from the MXdN event because there's plenty of chainsaws making a lot more noise.

True fans are definitely in Europe. At Matterly Basin for MXoN last year, we watched an older couple probably late 70's to 80's, just sitting with their fingers in their ears while 5 chainsaws were having a battle not more than 30 feet away. Never be tolerated in the US. I'm US based but have total respect for all the crazy Eoro fans present last year. Will be at Red Bud and looking forward to seeing the Euro fans show their stuff.

I don't enjoy being right next to them , but I enjoy hearing them at the races. They go hand in hand with this sport I think.

I’m fine with it except at the podium when riders are doing interviews.

Yup. Pissed me off earlier this year (Red Bud, maybe?) when the fans were trying to drown out Marvin's podium speech with them.

You could swap out air horns for Lurch then you'd be on to something.

Sounds like a bunch of farm animals on meth if you close your eyes. As far as horns/chainsaw's...I'm all for it at MXON, for the right reason's, and nobody get's hurt or too pissed off.

like any loud noise its fun if you are making, for many others not...

put them in one area and let them have at it...

call it tinitus hill.

but somehow youre a killjoy if you want to watch the racing and cheer, hear the bikes and commentry without deafing noise drowning everything out..

yeah righty oh....
see cause i could, if be bothered, drag out a genny, my 2 X 100 watt stage amps and my ms20m and blow any
other sound to kingdom come...

I get annoyed sometimes when people are honking those mofo’s during the post race interviews, but besides that I’m cool with them

There should be a stand selling them, and all other kinds of noise makers, at the tracks!!!
It's moto, not croquet.

MXdN 2017, Anstie said he didn't like it because the crowd made too much noise and he kept thinking Herlings was behind him and couldn't hear his bike.

Also the Belguims have an air horn on a huge gas tank which is off a semi, now that thing is loud.

NL boys have a little rave cart blasting out music all day long.


I can hear the noise from Redbud already, Crazy Euros with wild Americans. Wish I was able to go
