Well, I have done my bit of touring with my better half

myself. I have the exact same problem. I actually almost ended up in the Bandipur national park while going to Ooty

. Good that there weren't any side ditches. And she actually tends to doze off if I don't talk sometimes. So looking for a solution myself.

But until then, what I do is I tend to slow down or stop at a safe roadside every 20 mins or so, get refreshed and push off again.

I suppose u can invest in a couple of cheap walkie talkies and get a headset that u can put on inside the helmets. I have no idea how "cheap" the walkie talkies would be though!

will be good if some earphone+mic setup like NASA had in their space ships

.
actually ,it is dangerous talking to the pillion by turning right or left to speak while riding

oh!kids walkie talkie come for Rs250 ,I suppose.saw somewhere back.

Yeah I remember that thread which had the circuit diagram. But I don't remember anyone having successfully used it/reviewed it on the forum.

Best bet, but an expensive bet, would be to buy a Chatterbox system. Starts from $250 last time I checked. Works like a charm, and has integrated mobile handsfree and GPS support.

**manohar_manu** · 10-31-2008, 04:43 PM

instead of those.. we can make our mobile phone with hedset to talk between rider and pillon through bluetooth..
there are many softwares which helps in talking through bluetooth..
since bluetooth will be used, one cant use handfree but can use hedset.

Amazing how much info googling can give you in 5 mins!

I'd actually invest in this. Hmm..who's going to USA?

Yes, I have seen the Chatterbox, don't really know how well it works... walkie talkie enabled helmets...

But as the saying goes, some of the best communication between two people happens when they are on two different bikes. Its a biker saying, not mine!

Wouldnt it be simpler to just pick up a couple of motorola talkabout walkie talkies and attach headsets to that? The walkie talkies set cost about 7K or so. Dunno the price of the headsets. You'll get good range and can use rider-pillion, or rider-rider, rider-car, etc. They come in FRS channels (free) and GMRS (licensed) channels.

yes, but some sites are quoting even a lesser price for 2-pair velcro headphone sets for rider-passenger. Only problem is availability in India

**prajwalkashyap** · 10-31-2008, 05:15 PM

As u had rightly asked...... Is anyone coming from USA? Pls holler out!

You need to ensure you get headsets with 'Push to Talk' buttons which allows the rider to continue to have hands on the bars. There are many available in the market and come with microphone/earpieces which velcro into full face helmet. I have tried 2 different sets but find the headset quality poor, but that could just be my old age and its getting hard to hear.

Stewarch: Good to see you post man. Long time!

And, I'm sure you mean VOX capability.. because you need to push the button in the P2T feature to activate the microphone. VOX is voice activated, and that's the one which you can use to keep your hands on the bars while talking.

PS and OT: Any rides recently?

**prajwalkashyap** · 10-31-2008, 06:06 PM

Pranay's link seems to fit the bill perfectly.

Motorcycle Intercom and Motorcycle communication headset

For $49, its a pretty good deal I must say (if the set comes with all that's in the picture).
