I'm the local chapter chairperson for SCORE, a resource partner of the SBA, whose volunteers help folks interested in starting or growing small businesses. SCORE legally stands for Service Corps of Retired Executives, although you don't really have to be retired or have been an executive...
You didn't say what size you are, but if you can handle an XL or XXL, NewEnough has a great deal on yellow mesh Cortech by Tour Master GX Air Series 2 Jacket :: MotorcycleGear.com . I've enjoyed the blue version for a few years. I particularly like the leather on the elbows and shoulders for...
So, what he's done is add a nicer horn controller that allows the original OEM horn to "beep" politely, but quickly overtakes it with raucous pulsating blasts from your high beams and the compact Stebel airhorn. Since I've used and endorsed the latter for years, I might just have to add another...

Those are not fun when you have to pick them up periodically... and you WILL have to pick them up periodically unless you're just riding on dirt that's like pavement. Light weight is your friend in the dirt.
