Riding with wife and radio gear (was RE: winter storage/ battery tender)

Amazing coincidences: that is one of the bikes my wife is interested in
(or the Vulcan 750 or a Magna) and you and I each have '86 CB450SC's. If
you say your old Nighthawk is red it'll get really creepy!

We're looking forward to my getting the ST so we can ride together.

This is something very much of interest to us as well.  Let me know what
you find out.

I haven't seen anything affordable (J&M isn't affordable!) that I like
yet.  There is the issue of the band (49MHz, 900MHz, FRS) but also the
speaker and esp. the microphone.  I've heard that some good (i.e.
expensive) units are still usable above 50mph but many of the lesser
priced alternatives aren't.

Of course this is all 2nd hand info at best.

Ideally we'd like to find a decent microphone and speakers (boom mike
for Willemina's 3/4 helmet) that plug into one of the FRS radios (the
prices are REALLY dropping on these!) so off the bikes at someplace like
Busch Gardens we can still stay in touch. 

> Have fun!!!!!

We will.  :-)
