Comm system???

Any recommendations? I just want something that the wife and I can use when riding two up.

Scala. I don't own one personally, but I've heard many good things about it. Tracy (G-Rex) should be able to hook you up with some info.

I had/have the autocom active plus system I used on the RT and LOVED it.

Hook an iPod, GPS and your cell phone into it and you've got all three avalible anytime. PLUS rider to passenger.

I loved that system. You could take a call while riding, or make one. Hear "bitchin Betty's" GPS instructions AND listen to tunes (cancelled the tunes out when you got a call) all while being able to talk to the wife (music cut out when person to person came on too) on a ride

Made riding MUCH more fun for her.

I believe that's the one Tracy has. I can't speak for him on his experience with it since, but I know he and his friend that rides with him on several of his long distance trips tested it, and they seemed to like it.

I think mine is missing just the helmet leads (speaker/mic) and I'm not certain how much those are.

The guy that still sells that stuff is out of CO I think. This is the name and contact info I got to buy my spare helmet one.
918-446-2245 Kieth

If you want to call him and see what 2 helmet setups would cost, you're welcome to HAVE what I have.

What is it that Tig & Trip are running? I think it's something different.
