Just ordered a new 2015 Tri-Glide. Ordered quite a few extras. Thinking about the CB. Who has the CB, does it function okay and is it worth the extra money?

It is worth it if you want one...I was really big in the CBs back in the late 70s and early 80s...and I still have one in the truck with a Rebel 200 linear (amp) but not one on Miss Mysterious...
Be careful Big Brother (the FCC) doesn't catch you with that linear. Not exactly legal!
I'm a licensed amateur radio operator and I'm gonna figure out a way to at least mount a portable on the bike. I leaning towards the factory CB install too.
Since I got my amateur license I never go on CB (11meters) anymore. I used to use it all the time from the early 70's up to about 2000. It was fun.
Well Big Brother I guess I should go ahead and tell you about all the upper channels I talk skip on...back in the day with the base I ran a Maco 1000..and everyone knew if the "Man" was in town or not...that was then when there were not any high tech toys we have now...

Nah, stay off 19 unless you're into profanity and gutter talk. Most guys I know and a lot of HOG chapters run on 15.when the riders, with a CB, are using it in a 2 or more group, do you use channel 19 or agree on a little used channel before the ride starts? I haven't used my CB for group rides yet, but glad I have it, I'm a just in case kinda guy.![]()

I do go up to 19 to ask about problems on the road. Guess 9 is still considered an emergency channel.

Why not have a Bike/Trike channel of our own?Yep, way too many truckers on 19. Only time I go there is when the traffic is stopped, someone is always cussing about whats going on. as far as riding with others we pick a channel to talk on.
