RE: CB question.
If you can put up with all the BS, use channel 19 on the interstate and let the truckers be your "eyes and ears". If you are running with a group of riders, use something else, and the higher (above 20) channels USUALLY have less traffic. Remember channel 9 is the emergency channel, and most LEO's that run CB's usually have a radio that overides to that channel. Unfortunately, LEO's with CB's are becoming fewer and fewer.

RE: CB question.
There really isn't one channel that bikes use. But...............
Channel 1 on the CB has been refered to as the Harley Channel since the 70's.Channel 11 was often refered to as the double Harley. That goes back to the big #1 that Harley came out with in 1976 or so. Because of that many people with bikes equipt with CB's started using it.
When traveling in a pack we try and find a channel that has little traffic on it. But it is nice to be able to switch back to 19 to hear traffic stuff from the big trucks.......

RE: CB question.
Thanks guys and gals for the information. Maybe we should start a bike only channel this would help, when we traveling state to state. We could use Keystone's idea of using 1 or 11.
