Bike to bike comms

Postby grclarke » Wed Mar 02, 2011 10:05 pm

Hey folks - does anyone have experience / advice / recommendation for a good bike to bike comms system?

Seen a couple of options "Interphone 4" and "Starcom 1 - BT Go". They seem reasonable but I've no real idea about these things.

Not too bothered about phone or music connectivity, just the ability to moan at TonyF whilst we're on our way to and from the NW200. :P

Any suggestions or recommendations gratefully received!

I've got an autocom active rider I think it is. Very good, can talk up to about 90mph until wind noise opens the vox mic. I do like a bit of music too, and can happily listen to it even with ear plugs in. I can still hear the engine note, and the lovely exhaust sound, because 95% of wind noise is cancelled with the ear plugs. I did make the mistake of putting my helmet back on without plugs once though, turned the ignition on (music was still playing) and nearly blew my eardrums up :lol: :lol:

If you want I can get the exact model I've got. I got it from the NEC a couple of years ago, including the radio it was about £160.

Cheers,

Jon.
