Default CB Channel
Is there a desiginated channel that tourbikes keep tuned into to give a shout out when passing another cb equipped bike on the road?

If not what channel do you keep your CB on?

I ride with channel 19. Years ago...when CBs were popular, that
was the common channel, and most truckers that still use CB
are on that channel. I can ride for hours and not hear anything
until you come close to a truck stop.
If I am riding with other CB users and we don't want to be bothered
with other CB'ers....we just pick another channel.
I had one trucker radio to me that I had a nice bike as I passed him...
I guess he just assumed I had the radio on!
So if you pass me on the road, I'll be on CH19.

We use channel 28 most of the time. Never heard of a designated Harley channel? Or a designated motorcycle channel?

Wingers are just on another wavelength. :-P

I always use "3" when riding with friends. I monitor "19" when on the road alone.
