    Alright I got an awesome idea since I love communication through radios(most awesome invention), putting a CB radio on a bike but I have no knowledge on CB radios. Could I just buy a 12v battery from a store connect the radio to that. please help. It will haunt me if I don't build this.
    -what radio
    -how you would connect it
    -power supply
    -antenna
    -Trying to keep everything under $200 also I saw a $32 dollar CB on Amazon could I use that?

    Walkie talkie hand held cb radio's are for sale in truck stops, I seen them at some TA and Petro truck stops, FlyingJ truck stop might have one or Loves. Sometimes you can find a hand held police scanner too . I seen a girl that had a cb in one hand and a police scanner in the other hand hoping in and out of trucks at the TA

    Hand held cb radio's run on flashlight batteries. Cb shops sell cb radio's on eBay

    I seen a bicycle headlight generator that rubs the tire . Or you can strap a car battery to your luggage platform and run wires to your cb

    My thoughts were similar...

    A little power generator coupled with a good motorcycle battery.

    And post some pics when you finish your project.

    And a simple wilson 2000 whip
