Christ on a bike, I had one of those, must have been in the early 80's.

WTF is it? Which probably answers your question!

It was an ingenious electronic horn that made your bike sound like a police car, ambulance or fire engine with the push of a button.

You had to be there to appreciate them really

if you were wealthy there was a microphone version

A friend had one and I wanted one. As I recall it didn't last very long so perhaps I was spared a disappointment.

This thread has me thinking about riding grifters, eating cola cubes and huge monster munch.

A quick search found THIS, but at £2.50 with free P&P from China I suspect it would be more fragile than an original 80's one!

[EDIT] or £10.50 for an original. Sorry but even with rose tinted specs one of these won't be finding it's way onto any of my bikes again.
