Harley-Davidson Owners Club articles

The chapter has been investigating bike/bike and rider / passenger communications systems for some months with a view to choosing a system that we could recommend to all of our chapter members.  We also needed a radio link for our road captains and marshals for the ride outs that we conduct every month. After testing a couple of systems we have settled on the Tecstar system and a Kenwood PMR 446 radio (legal frequency and power output). We currently have 2 sets in use though the intention is to buy more. The main reason for choosing your equipment was that it did just what you said it would and was easy to fit.  I am also very impressed with the “after Sales” service that I have received.  Six bikes from Bridgwater Chapter took part in the Antwerp 500 mile run in October (24-26) and the ability to communicate between the bikes ensured that we did not leave any rider behind at lights or junctions etc with no idea as to what direction we had taken next. We also used the mobile phone and were told that the other party did not realise that the call was conducted from a motorcycle Travelling at speed in Belgium. In total we covered over 1250 miles over the weekend and I know that others in our club are going to order sets of equipment from you.  Please feel free to use any of the information contained in this email as a recommendation as to the quality of the system and very good service that your company embraces.
