Default Commumication Systems

Does anyone use any kind of communication system? If so what kind? Do you have pics? Can you tell me what you think of it? I am thinking of getting one but I don't know much about them. Thank you for all your help.

I don't have one but I researched on it while back. At the time Blue Ant Interphone seemed like the best unit. Unfortunately it was beyond my budget.

BlueAnt Wireless North America - Bluetooth InterPhone motorbike helmet handsfree and intercom kit

There is also another solution Cardo Scala Rider (team rider) which got mixed reviews, from my understanding it is more effective in slower speeds.

Chatterbox seemed pretty complicated, expensive, and heavy weight.

Motorcycle cruiser covered these systems and many other in their latest issue. It is a nice survey but they actually didn't review them.

Let us know what you think when you get one....

I use a collett communicator and it does well. It has volume adj and a sensitivity adj. You can also plug in a music source (mp3 ect.) and play music through your speakers. These are also weatherproof and a lot of snowmobilers use these. Do some research on the net, they are not too expensive either
