    Ive got a speak ez intercom set up now but it doesn't do wind filtering, and
    becomes useless above 60.

    Now im after a decent set up, that uses ear pads that velcro into the
    helmet.

    ive seen these bikercom in some bike shops which seem to have all the goods,
    but do they do wind filtering, ie, can ya use the buggers on the bike!

    also seen autocomm but their bloody expensive .

    what are people using now?

    cheers
    Nathan
    thanks in advanced

    Mate; you DO NOT want your missus in your ear while you are enjoying your
    ride.
    Please trust me on this one!

    Yes - trust me too. However, if you really do want this (can't say you
    weren't warned), the Autocomm though exey is certainly up to the task.
    We've had ours for about 18 mths now and it's great. Installation takes
    some doing (would have been impossible without ya Glenn baby) but once in,
    it's a gem.

    Good luck and despite all the jokes about the missus in the earhole spoiling
    a ride, it is a pain in the arse.

    Cheers,
    Dave :)

    Above 60 and your missus at your back then you do not need an intercom.
    You know what you will get your earful with.

  5. An autocomm is expensive, but is bloody brilliant!!!

    I am upgrading my older one to the newer model soon, so I will have one
    going relatively cheap if you are interested.

    I have a Sonic ICF for sale - I bought it a few years ago when my kids were
    younger and I wanted to be able to talk to them on the back of the bike. It
    has velcro ear pads and microphone plus a jack for an external sound source
    (eg mp3 player). Full duplex. Drop me a line at rahaley2<remove this
    bit>@tpg.com.au and make me an offer if you're interested.

    I have the Autocom model, perfect quality.
    I tried one of those speak easy models and was a waste of plastic.

    If I can install the system on the bike in about 1 hour and about 1.5 hours
    per helmet then anyone can install the thing. The instructions are top
    notch.

    P.S My wife doesn't bother me too much, when I leave her at home
