Hmm depends how adventurous you're feeling! I can head south a bit and meet you somewhere

 

Road trip! When is this happening? Ill join (but not June 8-18)

 

Anyone know who makes a helmet with Bluetooth Comms built in. Preferably one you can run with goggles.

I know Sedeci makes one with a visor, for a decent price. However, it doesn’t vent and would prefer goggles.

 

Sedici? Oh wait, I see your edit

 

This says it works with goggles:

Gotta strap on the tent and sleeping bag and we should go camping

 

Thats what Im hoping to do this weekend. Possibly next. But definitely in May. I need a test run of all my stuff before I do the NEBDR like a noob

 

Let's make a plan! I have no camping supplies though, would have to figure that out.

 

Why built in? Just wanting the lower profile or?

 

Yeah I've tried those ones, still blocks out too much sound for me to not delegate extra attention to trying to hear everything lol. Have also tried some high fidelity ones, as well as some marketed specifically for motorcycles. Didn't like any of em enough to continue using them.

 

Looking to pickup several helmets of various sizes to use for guided trips in the SxS. All in one units with comms would be great. Don’t need to have top shelf helmets for this, but comms would be huge.

 

I am down for this.

 

Got the new ECU put in....well worth the money. I top out at 88

Also mounted my tablet for GPS. I rode over to Columbus and test rode a W800. Bike had smooth power and delivery, but just wasn't comfortable. I also got to sit on a Versys X300. If they put the Ninja 400 motor in it, probably gonna get one.

 

Look at HJC too.

 

I wonder if it'd be more worth it to buy however many helmets you need and clamp/fit kits for each one, then only a handful of the actual com units. So like 10x MX-9's, 10x fit kits, and 5 smh-10's vs 10 full fledged $400+ helmets.

Then folks would grab whatever helmet fit them and you'd just slap the comm unit into the cradle vs keeping every single one charged up all the time y'know

Don't be checking TW while you're riding! j/k lol

 

rode my bike to work this morning. of course the forecast was wrong and it dumped on me again.

Tried to start it to run a work errand, display, headlights, etc all turn on normally, but my ABS light doesn't go off/flash like it normally would, stays solid as if it was turned off manually. Not sure if it's just a dying battery, and the ABS doesn't have enough power to run it's usually check upon startup, or if it's something more serious.

gonna have it jumped then ride it down to my shop, and tow if the jump doesn't work. fingers crossed

 

Scratch free side of the bike

 

I did this for the Iron Butt. I took my wife's Cardo with me and just swapped from mine to hers when my Cardo's battery ran low. Unless you think you'd need 10 people or w/e talking at once, I'd just get 1 comm per seat on your SxS.
