Hi all, I'm Anna, I'm new to CB - am just getting myself set up for mobile use on my motorcycle. Have invested in an Alan (Midland??) 42 and helmet kit.
Don't know any of the jargon or anything - gentle introduction required please!! [-o<
See, I don't even understand this Midland/Alan thing...

Thanks for the welcomes all. 
fatfinger, I won't be trying to unravel all that just yet... I've a suspicion at least some of it is rude.
It'll be a while before I get the rig set up on the bike, but a few mates of mine have been using CBs for years 'n' years, so I've plenty of backup - and someone to talk to!
thinks...
20 - location? - mostly on the M25 between junctions 16 & 22, commuting times of day
candles?? - something to do with power output?? Dunno!
handle - name - TBD...
30+ - receiving well?
over...
tincahunter, I've a couple of friends who have always had rigs on their bikes - but the guy used to be in REME so I guess it gets into the blood. He's always reckoned CB's the most reliable band, wouldn't have anything to do with PMR when we were instructing. I guess CB's even better (in one respect) now that there are less people using it. Less interesting though. I was hoping to pick up truckers on my commute (in the sense of "hear" rather than the more tawdry sense) - gotta be more entertaining than Wogan...
I'm currently riding an MZ Skorpion traveller in metallic bottle green with boxes. Reliable bike. You ride?

Ah. Not telling. 
he he.
Well, got the headset sorted out this morning, so all powered up and ready to go... That's the beauty of the handhelds, no need to spend days and days making up brackets etc, just velcro the PTT switch to the handlebar, clip the unit to your belt, connect all the connectors and off you trot.
Now I just need someone to talk to... ! Oh and probably some helpful phrases - or I'll end up just speaking English and that wouldn't do at all!
Best channel? I know there's conventions about these things - help??
