Stebel to the rescue!

Since installing mine back in June, have not had occasion to use it except to accelerate road runners (the bird) crossing the road in front of me. Almost hit a couple of the little buggers last Saturday.

A blast from the Stebel helped them across much faster, otherwise I's have been picking feathers out of the radiator.

I've lived in AZ for 10 years and probably haven't seen 10 roadrunners in that time. You see 2 in one day.

Cj: If'n you want to see road runners, try the back roads around Gila Bend, Salome, or Wickenburg. Seems to be plenty of them, and I have run over 3 snakes too. 2 of them were the rattling kind.

Of course I am getting out into the boon docks and off the beaten path that most riders travel.

Since I live in the SE Valley, I tend to ride north and east of Phoenix, I don't venture across the valley to Wickenburg much, because I have to fight 100 miles of traffic to get there.

i spend most of my time riding near Globe, Payson, and Oracle.

Since I put a Stebel on, it has come in handy. Even a short blast, gets attention when it's needed.

Can't wait to blast my new Stebel and unfortunately I am sure the opportunity will come soon.

Thanks

Loud horns save lives.

I love it when I mash the horn button and a cage driver turns himself inside out trying to get back where he was. They have to think that they are about to be flattened by a Mack truck. HA

I mounted mine on the top crash bar bolt. I retained the original horn so I can use either one of them.
