Recommend me a two-way intercom which doesn't cost your first born child....
Me and the boss are looking for a two way intercom system...
We're going to be doing plenty of long distance stuff in the future so I'd like to hear her screams of fear etc and she wants to be able to call me a F***ing A***hole when the mood takes her.... :whistle:
Anyway, we had a look at the Scala stuff but it comes up at nearly £300 for two way blue tooth stuff..
ABSOLUTE RIP OFF !! NO CHANCE !!!
Can anyone recommend anything else ? I'd really prefer to keep it wireless if possible though.
Thanks in advance folks.

I've found this cabled one for about £100.
Looks really good with excellent reviews.

I got a set that I brought for me and my lass. She never got on with them. This is two radio's. So it's one each. Used once in the living room to the kitchen. Then put back in the boxes.
£100 for the pair???

I bought my scala rider via Ebay USA and let it ship to Germany... 130USD for the whole set.
e.g.: http://-delete-www.ebay.com/itm/CARD...5e56fb&vxp=mtr
^^I dont know how it is to post direct links in here so delete the "-delete-"^^
137, but maybe you can bring him down to 130USD+shipping
We are using this one for 2up, 30.000km, in the rain, in the desert, it just works great (knonck on wood)
it doesnt have the range for 2 bikes I guess, for two you have to get the G4 230 USD about

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
