Amateur radio.

That's cool that Tony is a ham. Good to know there's other people on bikes with radios. ;)

SloppyRobot----I thought IRO was an acronym for "I Ride One." You know, as in one gear? Yet, another reason to feel dumb. This, after buying two Mark Vs from Tony - sheesh.



"A holder of an Amateur Radio license has studied and passed required tests in his or her country and been issued a call sign by its government. This call sign is unique to the operator and is often a source of pride." ...e.i. IRO. Good call DolFace.

check the movie Frequency for HAM radio fun. Dennis Quaid's finest role. Besides being the rebel cutter in Breaking Away.
