I wish I could say the same  ;D   I arrived in town the other day and heard a "tink" as I dismounted. On closer inspection not one but both horn brackets had sheared through vibration. I had seen a video of this before where one had broken, but two! At least the horns were still attached.

Anyway I couldn't help noticing a lack of horns in your photo.

Yes, my horn brackets broke years ago. I ditched one horn and tucked the other up under the headstem.

The exact same thing happened to the GT that Motorcycle Consumer News tested when the bike was first introduced to the US market.  It must be an RE GT "feature".   ::)
