Abstract

A communication system for use with a motorcycle includes a main unit that has a detector and a transmitter that transmits an alert signal upon the detection of a radar or laser by the detector. The system further includes either a visual indicator or an audio indicator. The visual indicator has a receiver that receives the alert signal from the transmitter, and a display which provides a visual display of the alert signal. The audio indicator has a receiver that receives the alert signal from the transmitter, and a speaker which emits an auditory response of the alert signal. The system can further include a mounting assembly having a connector that is removably connected to a part of a motorcycle, a support bracket to which the main unit is removably coupled, and a link that pivotably couples the support bracket and the connector.

Claims

1. A communication system, comprising:

a first main unit coupled to a first motorcycle;

a first peripheral device coupled to the first main unit for communication therewith;

a second main unit coupled to a second motorcycle;

a second peripheral device coupled to the second main unit for communication therewith; and

wherein the first and second main units communicate signals with each other.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first and second main units communicate signals relating to the detection of a police radar.
