Amen to that!!! I-25 x-way is in my back yard and those little whistle thingamajiggies are real annoying to me. I don't know if they work on deer or not, but I start hearing them about 1/4 mile away.

I remember back in my younger days running some pretty tricked out cafe racer motorcycles at late night at 100+ mph on those wide open flat straight stretches of Texas hi-ways like I-10 West of SA. The Texas Hi-way dept. sure does build good smooth roads! I now consider myself very lucky to have never hit a deer or anything else and am grateful to have survived my 20's! Not very cool hitting anything in a truck, much less a motorcycle, at those speeds!

Hey, maybe I'll just have to put some of them thar little whistling critter scaring thing-a-ma-jigs on my RAM bumpers
At 80 mph, the turbo whistle should be pretty loud.

Speaking as one, Texas is my home... That is why I am so fond of it...
