    Add another to the separate BT headset camp. I think everyone already hit on a lot of the advantages.

    My GF and I both upgraded helmets this year, and it took a collective 30 minutes to swap the headsets onto the new helmets. You wouldn't be able to do that if a BT helmet sacrificed itself for your head.

    I have my sena mounted in a RF-1100 and my new RF-1200 both have recessed pockets in the ear area for the speakers.
    Also there is a button mic option for full face helmets instead of the boom mic FYI.
    The safety factor that the communications brings to the game with a group ride can't be overstated. Once you try it with a friend or 2 you will be hooked.

    Well it looks like I need to get myself a Sena set. Which one, not sure yet, but leaning towards the 20S.

    I'm working on my 20s review. In short, I would not buy again, at least with the way it's working right now. Give me a couple more days before making a decision.

    Do they still sell the SMH5? Mine's been nearly bullet proof. Would most definitely buy again.

    Your motorcycle is practically a car.

    What's the difference between a bolt and a screw?
    First you screw, then you bolt.

    Yes. Amazon.com: Sena SMH5-01 Bluetooth Headset and Intercom for Scooters and Motorcycles: Automotive
    I would buy again as well.

    True, but... Well, less doors. That's all I've got.

    What's it not doing? The reason I ask is my first 20S worked fine but was constantly dropping the intercom. I contacted Sena who suggested (after the requisite restart, reset BS) I return it to them and expect a new unit in about 6 weeks. Unacceptable. Sena forum to the rescue! After an hour of digging I found it was common for units with serial numbers below 150xxxxx to drop the intercom on the reg - my unit was 141xxxx. I returned my first one to Amazon and picked a 150xxxx from Cycle Gear and all's well. Works as promised.
