I couldn't care any less what tech you use, I don't and won't ride with you. Just saying that if you absolutely have to speak to other riders or passengers while riding (and I see next to no need for that), there are better solutions other than CB.

Actually I've stopped using one at the moment, as I found I rarely used it. As I said, I've ridden tens of thousands of miles in groups and the couple of times there needed to be communication further than hand signals, the BT was fine. And you never mentioned anything about wives.....You incorrectly referred to passengers as "riders". I don't pretend to know your marital status or sexual preference. Seeing as how you fancy yourself as a rider, I mistakenly assumed you'd heard the term "b*tch" when referring to a backseat passenger. I also assumed you had a sense of humor, and would see that I was having some fun with the post by asking if y'all were swingers.

You clearly don't understand large group long distance riding. For those that care, there's no hand signals that's going to help when the back of a group gets split by a light. Or the lead lets the group know about sand or gravel in a turn when we're riding hard in the twisties (as we usually ride). Or there's deer lurkinhg on the side of the road. Or when a rider or passenger has to take a leak. (Do you feel better i used both rider and passenger this time or are you going to go all 1%er on me again?). Or when the short tank in the group is light on fuel and the lead neds to finf a station. Or when the lead tells the sweeper to block the left lane so the entire group can pass on the highway together. Or someone just shares a funny joke. The examples are endless why a cb is invaluable in large group riding. Both for safety and because when your doing thousands of miles together its good to stay in touch.
Should hd include a cb on a Sharknose Ultra. Probably not since most guys don't use it because most riders don't do large group long distance riding. But for the guy that does, its a perfect tool to add to a bike that simply hasn't been improved on ....yet.

I agree with what you say. Our chapter uses cb every ride. Usually we have 30+ bikes in a group." to large" . And I also agree, I would never refer to my passenger rider as a bitch, and I would also agree that everyone on the bike is a rider.

Pretty funny guy I guess. A poster asks about the lack of a cb on the new RG. I share there's no better tech than a cb including bt. I referred to a total number of "riders" to mean riders and passengers and you chime in like a wanna be 1%er. Like using fowl language and referring to passengers as bitches makes you sound tough. Ok all in fun. Sure.

Now go get on your CB and tell all your riding buddies how you got all tough-guy on the Internet. I'll be riding in blissful silence.

Yup, I'm going to share this with the 30 other bus drivers I'm riding with!
But WTF do I know, I use fowl language to a rubber chicken and I have a face like a llama's butt.

Awesome! I make fun of all the wannabe tough guys here all the damn time, but I'm a wanna be 1%er......Fowl language? Well I do have a rubber chicken tied to my luggage rack, and I do talk to Chickie at times, so sure, I guess that's considered fowl language. Now if you're talking about foul language, you're the one who referred to me as a "horse's ***". I guess I have to update my photos here, as I regularly hear that my face looks like a llama's ***.
You clearly can't read, as twice now I've stated that I've ridden tens of thousands of miles in groups. We practice "last rider to a turn", so if the group gets split, it's not a big deal. Sand or gravel? Hand signals. Gotta pee? Hand signal. You say a CB's invaluable; I had one for nearly 100,000 miles and never used it. Your group apparently uses them quite often, and that's great for you. It'd annoy the hell out of me with all that chatter.
Now go get on your CB and tell all your riding buddies how you got all tough-guy on the Internet. I'll be riding in blissful silence.

No clue who you are or any previous exchanges. Just trying to help a guy out asking about CBs. I can clearly understand how your silence would be blissful for both you and others you ride with. Back to my ride. 10-4 over and out.
