To the guy with the train horn at the races

Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes.

Sometimes we get reminded just how lousy our target demographic can be. There is such a wide variance from people who treat it with the precision and respect of formula 1, all the way to train horn toting Neanderthals yelling for no reason all day.

Less horns more chainsaws? 
 

Just wait until we see the fans erupt at MXON

They’re starting to pop up everywhere now, I even picked one up instead of buying the disposable ones over and over. You can buy them premade or you can buy just the kit itself if you already have a cordless impact drill. I'm not sure if they're much louder than a traditional airhorn but they definitely have a different tone (that train horn sound). I agree with the fact that anything done too much is annoying. 
 

Mate of mine has a chainsaw signed by Villopoto from Foxhill last year 😂

I say more air horns, more chain saws. That stuff is awesome.

You must be so fun at parties 

I’ll take a million air horns at every single race over having to hear people scream “RED BUD” for just one round. 

Best post of the day!!!!!!!!!!!

Old man yells at cloud

Horns on bikes for passing meep meep!!

I think they actually caught it on camera. Beginning of 250 moto 2 maybe.... they showed his arm in the air with the drill. 

I'm not into train horns....I'm more into lasers. 

You watch college baseball? They must be even worse thanks to that dickhead vandy whistler 

He made me realise that instead of the red cross flag that marshal should have a distinctive horn to blow as the riders go past.. Just a thought  

This post is too funny... LOL....!!

The kid near us at Budds Creek had one and basically every rider that passed by him got a nice toot of the air horn... My buddies and I joked aloud asking the rhetorical question "Does the fact that ever rider that passes by gets a blast of the air horn somehow lessen the value and significance of the air horn?".

I guess the fact that they are now battery powered with your cordless drill also enables you to blast all day as opposed to when you had to conserve your can of compressed air for only "special occasions"... LOL!!

My buddy brought his obnoxiously loud train horn with us to MXoN last year... was a bit of a bitch to carry the compressor around though...

Is it true they only allow electric chainsaws at the California rounds?

I'm with you on that. Lately people have bringing air horns to our local races and it really feels like it elevates the racing. It's like our own little national.

They are annoying. Not even on the same level as the chainsaws tho. 

After mxon I could go the rest of my life w/o hearing another 2 stroke chainsaw. Fuck those things. Most idiotic, annoying, pointless thing I have ever seen. 

Yeah, no....I'm not a fan....but I do think it's cool when I'm watching the MXGP races, and the rider goes by the horn blower, and it blows loud and then dissipates as the rider passes.  Not sure why I like that.  

I could not stand next to the horn or chainsaw for any length of time without wearing out....it's too much.

You can damn sure tell the off season is only one race away...

“I could use a little more cowbell”

Yeah, man. I dig em. More cowbell!! Or drums and timbales. Thundersticks, or whatever. Bring them.

Reminds me of going to a race in Europe which is just awesome. Hell, in Bercy, you have all those horns and

chainsaws INDOORS. Frigging rules. Going to a National should just be a rabid, feverish, sensory overload. This ain't basketweaving.

Its funny for 5 minutes, then it is fucking annoying.

The fact that we will allow wankers with chainsaws to rev them 24/7 at races, and then penalise a guy for being 2db over in a post race test shows the stupidity of our sport. 

Stops familes wanting to attend.  

Easily on my list of top 5 people I would swing at if there were no consequences. Whistle through your busted lip for a while.

Spot on.

Mount one of them to handle bar...use for lappers...

The douche bags with air horns on their RVs blowing them nonstop sure made MXON less enjoyable.  Same kind of idiots that shoot fireworks for 8 hours.
