Ah, yes, I had one of those.... Broke the 2nd time I used it...  Had to have a cast on my thumb for 4 weeks and couldn't find a replacement for the horn button!! ohmy.gif

I can see potential problems in some neighborhoods, also. Especially if one arrives at very late hours... Thinking.gif

Do you think it also works using car/truck horns? I don't have a motorcycle.

Also, I have a double-wide garage door, but the opener in the video is a single-wide. So again, not sure if it will work.
Cheers, Tom

Wouldn't work at my house. Can't seem to get the operating system programmed properly.
I'm not a complete idiot -- a few parts are missing!

Good question , Tom. Obviously more research is needed. But I'm also concerned about the problems Joe and Bob brought up...I know this thing saves batteries but sometimes we have to make sacrifices to maintain a smoothly running household... Thinking.gif
