RHC: CB radio is also useful on high end touring motorcycles that often have them as an option. When touring on my motorcycle, my CB is always on, and it does provide some measure of warning about traffic slowdowns, accidents, and police speed traps. Also riding in large groups, those with a CB can both lead the parade and also ride shotgun at the end to organize things. Truckers seem to have no problem talking to bikers when in the same situation ,they would ignore a car so equipped and I've had some interesting conversations at times....relieves the boredom on those long interstate drones..
A toy...yes....but it can be useful
