    I don't about everyone else, but usually keep mine off. I turn it on in bad weather or when traffic slows. I rarely run with it on. Too many yahoos out there yelling or having conversations that I can only hear one side of.

    Just run w/ mine on to monitor. I like to holler @ other May drivers, too. I also try to wave @ other May drivers - get about the same response!

    My trainer has a Pete 587 and though he has a CB he only hooks it up if he needs it. If it is mounted on the platform in the Pete it blocks the view of the right side spot mirror. Thoughost of the time I can't see that mirror anyways since it sits so darn low.
