Train Horn

[punkncat]

I live in the ass-end of country Ga now. This is pickup truck heaven, the bigger the better. Apparently one of the cool things to do around here is to blow the train horn you have installed under your too big truck as you ride by cyclists.

I tell you right now...looking in your mirror to see one of these trucks coming is scary enough. The tires are big enough to roll you over without so much as a bump to the driver...and THEN to blow the damned train horn right as they ride by?
Ever see that episode of Tom and Jerry where Jerry gets the canned air horn?


Yeah, Tom jumping out of his own body, that was me.

I think I would almost rather be smoked out with the diesel fumes....almost

Yeah...you can google "train horn" and get plenty of videos of these idiots. Fortunately this hasn't caught on in our area and I pray it never does.

Great idea....let's ride down the road on a bicycle with a 3000 PSI tank right in front of our balls. Smart (or not)

Between this and the smoke thing, I have never wanted to jump through my computer screen to throttle someone so badly in my life.

Those videos are actually pretty funny...

You're complaining about a few folks there hating cyclists while you seemingly hate of the whole state of Georgia?

I got train horn'd in Miami last year, it startled the **** out of me and nearly caused me to swerve into a ditch and go down along with my brother who was just behind me. Makes me permanently suspicious of pickups.

I take it you've never lived in GA.

Pretty much any fellow in a big pickup truck with a diesel smoke stack and/or train horn is compensating for some sort of sexual disfunction. Button penis? Thumb d**ck? Flaccid noodle erection?

Graduated High School in GA

Started high school in CA though, so I can read.









Ok, that was a little harsh...

Come to Oregon. Here, it can be a Dumptruck with a trailer, a VW Passat, or some beater pickup - drivers will squeeze you at 60+mph, honk as they pass, and ignore blind corners and hills just to get the f by you. At least in GA, if it's mostly pickups, you can tell what's comin'. Here? Forget it - it's everything.

[Nick Bain]

knife their tires if you ever catch one. it is the right thing to do.

[Velo Vol]

Train horns > truck horns

[Nick Bain]

People that do this kind of stuff are scared little *****es.

If you have to ask, you have never lived here.

There is some jack@$$ around Sunnyvale, CA that drives up one of the main roads over here and lets off a blast from one of those damn things once in a great while. Of all places to *not* expect that sort of thing, it's Sunnyvale...

And when they get a Hummer, you know they're way beyond hope.

Victims of inbreeding suffer from all of the above as well as mental retаrdation -- they deserve your pity.

We have some here. Someone hit the train horn next to me in a group ride of about 40. Thankfully none went down but most of the pack jumped/ swerved.

[unterhausen]

call the cops. In civilization, they take this sort of thing seriously. You might be surprised. I only have hearing in my left ear, and if I lose that due to some idiot with a truck I'm not going to be happy

[Vlaam4ever]

Similar thing happend to me earlier last week only it was an actually train...
