Going Motorcycle Mobile

Volunteering as a Motorcycle Marshal for the Bike MS Atlanta Peach Ride was my gateway into Amateur Radio. I connected my AnyTone D878 to a half-wave dual-band antenna that is mounted on the grab rail of my Ducati Monster S2R, strapped the wireless PTT to the left grip and paired the radio with a Sena 20S EVO et voila! I was "Motorcycle Mobile" and hooked up to Net Control for the event. I've since invested in a Ventura Sport Rack and a low-profile mount to improve the antenna installation. We're always looking for Motorcycle Riders to volunteer for this event, and for another event in North Georgia named Spin for Kids. Our goal is to field as many Motorcycle Marshals as we can, to keep our cyclists safe while they're on the course. Please share the following links with folks who you think may be interested in:

Event Escort Windshield Banners

Just received the latest batch of "Event Escort" Windshield Banners in time for the Fall Season of charity events. I ordered some of these last year and gave out the last of them at VeloCity 2022. I have 10 with grommets & bungie cords. I also have a few without grommets (with rubber tipped metal spring clips) I order these from PurpleIron at a discounted price of $20 each for ordering in batches. I bring these to events and sell them at cost. If you need one ahead of an event, please let me know and I'll mail it to you. James Acworth, GA August 2022
