How to attach a value to a ticker function?

Hi, maybe my question in the topic title isn't very precise. Let me explain what do I want to do. I'd like to send periodically (every few ms) 8 bits of data (simulating the u6050 Telefunken multiplexer). I've created a ticker, and I want to attach a value to it eg. (from bit 0 to bit 7). So,in the main function I would like to set a bunch of boolean (or maybe char (0-255) values (from bit 0 to bit 7), and then pass them periodically to the ticker function. I know what to do in the function, but for the lack of my C++ knowledge, I don't know how to pass the arguments to the ticker function. I know how to pass the arguments to a normal function thou. Any help will be very appreciated.

So for the code: (pseudo)

#include "mbed.h"

Ticker u6050;

void Mux_out(bool bit0, bool bit1, bool bit2, bool bit3, bool bit4, bool bit5, bool bit6, bool bit7)
{
   // do something
}

int main() 
{
u6050.attach(&Mux_out, 0.0075); // << here is the problem, how to pass the bool values to the Mux_out function

while(1) {}

}

I hope, that my question is clear enough.

Thank you in advance.
