geeze who knew..... I have 2 older CB's still that haven't been used in years. One is a wx Cobra and the other a Midland.
Is it really worth putting one on a Nomad? Naw........ can't be... But i am speaking for just me.

The latest Motorcycle Cruiser has an article on the different technologies for wireless communication. You may want to check it out. They each have their strengths and weaknesses.

Only if me or the other person(s) has something important to say. Doesn't happen often. If I want to chat, I'll stop after the ride and chat. I'd rather crank up the tunes and ride. If I'm not paying enough attention to catch the shirtless babe in the Mustang, that's on me. Same goes for the upcoming lane closure. If I'm the last one in line and have to stop, I either ride up to the next person to let them know I'm stopping or I just stop. Either I'll catch up or I won't. I don't ride fast enough to worry much about the cops, either. About 5-8 over is my limit. Let them ticket me. It'll never stick. I'd be happy to show up for court. One more chance to ride. Warning about an alien invasion? Don't bother warning me. Wherever they take me has got to be better than this planet. Stranded in the middle of nowhere with no cell signal and nobody's driving by I can't flag down? Probably nobody within radio range, either. I just don't see a need for it. If you (or Cheri or anybody else) wants one, go for it. Your bike probably came with it stock anyway.

I would love to have both the CB and XM options, but neither one is worth $400 plus...to me anyway. Especially the CB since it would be very rare I would have anyone riding with me that had one as well. It would have been handy on my trip west last month though, just couldn't get myself to do it not knowing when would ever use it again
