Thank you to all responding members. I look forward to participating and learning from you all.
Any recommendations on bluetooth rider to pax comms? Searching the web now to learn about helment to helmet comms sytems and would prefer wireless, i.e. NoLan 102's. So in summary, I plan to buy 2 helmets (mine and the wife's) with the electronics and set them up for wireless comms incluing cellphone & Ipod use. Seems there is alot of emerging technology...want to buy the best in helmets (full face / hybrids) and comms kit.
ps, won't use fulltime of course, but want to have for those road trips to come soon.
