Besides... If they're metal you can always use them for sinkers when fishing the bottom! :thumbup:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Our insurance company (StateFarm) gives them out. After John (paladent) hit a deer ( without then) we put the deer whistles on both bikes and have noticed not only deer but other critters also have a tendency to run away from the sound. IMO surely won't do any harm having them as long as installed properly and cleaned out periodically

No doubt that if you suck a June Bug down one of them it'll change the inner workings significantly! :shocked:

For avid gardners in the UK we have cat scarers. You stick a couple of penlight batteries in the plastic box, turn the switch to "on" and retire. Your delicate plants are protected against cats doing their dirty thing. The device emits a sound (which humans can't hear so you have no way to know if it is actually doing anything) which no self-respecting cat will tolerate while it is busy peeing or defecating, so the cat pulls up its pants and goes off to make a bloody nuisance of itself in your neighbor's garden instead. That's what the advertising blurb claims will happen. The other stated feature of this device is that it detects by means of an infra-red beam when a cat comes within 15 feet, at which point it does its scarey thing, automatically.
The first evening I had two of these devices installed among the flower beds I spent nearly four hours watching from a bedroom window with a flask of coffee at my elbow waiting for the local cat pest to appear, in order to have the satisfaction of seeing it flee with its tail between its legs from the hypersonic noise my scarer was making. No cat appeared that evening but a hegehog did. Hedgehogs are spiny slow-moving little critters, beneficial to a garden but not given to sudden bursts of speed. He must have set off one of my cat-scarer devices because he suddely lit his little after burner and disappeared into a black hole at light speed like he'd been electrocuted, probably never to return. So I lost a friend that night.
There is an obvious moral to this tale - never trust an automatic device to hit the intended target.

Do they attract them, or are they armored to survive them?? :yikes:
Love the hedgehog story! :thumbup: The poor little guy didn't deserve that kind of treatment though...

On your bookshelf.
You'll find it between hard-backed copies of "Canadian Vehicles - Why 3 is a Lucky Number" and "The REAL Hugh Hefner - Why 5,672 is a Lucky Number".

Where'd you get the elephant whistles?? Dennis Kirk?? :roflblack::roflblack:
IMO... I rather spend the less than $10.00 on something that is 50/50 than thousands in damages, not including injuries. And now that the elephants have popped on ths thread, I have a joke (but it has a moral into it):
A guy is walking down the street and sees this dude coming the opposite direction banging two sticks together. The guy stops the dude with the sticks and asks him what in the heck is he doing...
Dude replies "This is an elephant scaring system! It keeps the elephants away!"
The guy thinks the dude is crazy... so he wants to play him and says: "well, does it work?"
Dude goes "You don't see any elelphants, do you?!?!"

A QOUTE FROM USROADS:
Before he discovered deer whistles, a supervisor for an Arkansas utility came up with his own plan to scare deer off dark country roads. He taped the barking of his neighbors' dogs, rigged an amplified speaker to the front of his truck and then broadcast the tape as he cruised down highways. But he abandoned the scheme, amid concern that the barking was not only scaring deer, but awakening residents of southern Arkansas

Deer Shistle
I used the electronic alarm on my goldwing from 2001 to 2011 when the spyder came on the scene. If it worked or not, I can not say. I did not hit a deer in this time. Of course I did not hit an elephant, zebra, tiger, or lion either. It was just a little peace of mind. I have not installed it on the Spyder yet
Noticed too late that shistle should be Whistle
