F6B horn comedy

[austin_tech]

Any of you guys notice the horn button on the left, with the extended lever, is just a tad too touchy and far to easy to inadvertently touch?

I was pulling into a parking lot on the way to work this morning and as I was maneuvering, wanted to hit the mute on the radio. HHHHOOONNNNNKKKK! Once again, accidentally skimmed the horn button on the way to the mute, causing all local humans within a 50-yard radius to look at me like I'm some kind of deranged freak. Freaking funny, but embarrassing! And this happens at least once or twice a week in slow-speed conditions; last week I tried to cancel my signal near a crosswalk and accidentally blasted the horn, causing two people in the street to turn and run.

Any of you have similar issues, or do I need to get my thumb checked out? I'm considering grinding the lever extension off of that bad boy . . .

A couple of times I have had that happen in slow rolls. A couple times it was in my driveway at 5 AM. Rolled the bike out of the garage, started her up, I'm standing on the left side of the bike and open the faring storage door to get garage door opener/closer and HHHHOOOOOONNNNNNKKKKKK at 5 AM, I'm sure the neighbors loved it! LMAO!

Go to your friendly neighborhood surgeon & have him install a smaller diameter thumb.

Those are so funny stories. My friends always say how loud the horn is on a F6B and I really never noticed it. I guess it is louder then normal.

Please let me know what remedies the doctor prescribes I have all the same symptoms.

Amazing how hard to find that horn button is at the exact time you need it to blast a warning.

The real irony in this thread is every one at some time or another suffer with a stuck switch now we are getting too horny.
