Communication
« on: April 14, 2007, 05:14:36 AM »
I need advice on the best communication devices, bike to bike, I have had no experience with any at all. Any help will be appreciated. I don't want to spend a lot of money because I probably wont use it but once or twice.

Thanks

For about $80 you can buy a pair of two-way radios and two headsets for mc helmets.

Me and my brother use them and they work great at slower speeds, at a bit more than 60mph they start to become more difficult to understand each other, and much above 70-75 they're just about useless though.

You can pick up a decent set of radios at walmart $20-25

Search ebay for "helmet headset" and you can find them for various brands of radios, some for about $28 delivered.(headsets for some brands cost more)    you also need to know whether you need the 1 or 2 pin connection for the radio you 'll get(1 or 2 prongs to plug into radio)

Call me Jim if you got any ?s about em

That should just about cover it, except for let's drink a beer and let's eat, which should be pretty obvious signs  O0 O0 O0 ;D :D
