Using CB radio for group riding.

[horizonchaser]

Myself and 3 friends with Ultras just returned from a trip to Montana (from Oregon) and I would say the CB's were priceless. No idle chatter, just routing/pee stops/butt breaks/food/fuel were the most conversation items. I also have a Road Tech Zumo 660 and had the route totally mapped and if I was not leading I communicated the turns/motels to the lead bike via CB!!

Priceless on a group ride in my opinion.

That's exactly the way I want us to ride Fatboy. No idle chatter, just necessary communication. Glad to hear that you thought it was "priceless" on a group ride. Without having any group riding experience the CB idea just made a lot of sense to me using it in the manner that you and your riding pals use it.
Good idea relaying the directions to the lead rider via GPS from the rear in those moment of "lead rider indecision"! I've seen that happen more than once where the lead rider wasn't sure which way we were supposed to go!
