Default Do or Don't question

I already know a lot of folks will say its a matter of preference. My cycle came with the CB radio already installed. Are these used as much any more? I was thinking of selling that piece to put towards a WHIM. I was a big CB aholic back in the day, Just not sure how much they are used at least in the North east. I can see it out west where everything is wide open.

Just thoughts, looking at a club as well, would it be beneficial to keep just for that.

I would think that unless you are feeding the CB coms thru your helmet, it would be hard to hear while riding
I think Truckers are the only ones that still use CB today
Bottom line, it's your bike and you should set it up for your personal wants/needs

Some clubs like HOG use them but not a lot of others. The CB's on the bikes arent great pretty much line of sight.
