    Question Communication system for the bike(s)?

    Need some advice on brands and feedback if possible.

    Helmet to helmet is all wireless now?

    Anyone use these with good results.

    Thanks,

    Eric

    if you want a reliable system, don't go wireless

    Autocom fwiw, pricey, but you can hear it at ANY speed

    with Autocom I have full intigration of rider to passenger, bike to bike, radar detector, cell phone via bluetooth, gps, mp3

    it's crystal clear, even at xxx speeds, Autocom has noise cancelling headset, and eliminates the need for earplugs

    I have been trying out our Scalla rider and I agree the FM part is horrible.
    The blutooth phone setup ROCKS.
    I haven't tried bike to bike yet, but I have tried bike to bike using phones which had no distance restrictions.
    Next I want to try to connect the mp3 player.
    I really like it for the phone ability. I have a crackberry.

    Has anyone rigged a FRS option for the Scala?

    +1 on the Scala system. JRO and I have been using them for half the season both off and on the track. Love it, plus the Scala guys are good dudes!

    I'd give a negative to the Scala - my Q2 has been nothing but trouble, and now sits in my bits box. Email to Scala as to why the mic had totally lost all pickup went unanswered.

    Looking at Autocom for the next time around
