Me and my bro took Captainplanet's advice from this thread(http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/88624.html) and bought a pair of the Collett radios. They are awesome. They even work good on the highway. The range is decent.It's not nearly the 2 miles that they stated on the website, although I'm sure we have a lot of interference where we live. We tried the Motocomm setups with some Motorola Talkabouts, but they were crap. If anyone is looking for a communication solution, the Collett is definitely the one to get.

do you guys have loud exhausts? i've heard that the loud exhaust will cause the headsets to be on all the time and it just gets annoying...

Yeah, of course we have loud exhausts...he's got a 12R with a D&D and I've got a 9S with a D&D. The only time we tripped the vox is when we opened 'em up, but it was still only on for a second.

Cool,

I still love my collett stuff. My wife and I both have loud exhaust. It is pretty rare to get an open mic from the exhaust. The range of these things are just awesome.

we use hand signals, but mostly i just try to keep up with my wife on her Ducati. fortunately her monster uses more fuel than my XB12, so i can always catch her at the next fuel stop.
