Hello all - I wanted to start a thread to discuss bike-to-bike radio and just mention what I"ve started.
I was looking around at intercomm and other interfaces for the bike and found a few good solutions:
I went with the MotoComm MC-555 because I already own two Cobra radios that I use primarily for hunting. I _really_ don't want to deal with cell phone calls on the bike.
I just received two units today and installed them in my and my wife's helmets (she rides her own) and tested it around the house. It works well in the house - I have yet to test it on the road. This setup relies on a push-to-talk button, but the radio also has a vox setting, so I'll be tinkering with it a bit to see what works best.
I'm curious as to what others are using/considering. I'll post an update once we get out and test the MotoComm setup.
Happy Riding!

Chatterbox - great bike-to-bike solutions with intercom. I used to have one years ago and it was great. http://www.chatterboxusa.com/
Baer Communications - looks a little more sophisticated than the chatterboxes (and more pricey), I considered this but thought it was a little expensive for my needs http://www.baehrusa.com/
MotoComm - interfaces with FRS/GMRS radios https://www.rflimited.com/Site.asp?CID=3
