So it has come to this. I've been looking at the chatterboxes... They seem pretty cool. They have family channel 2 way radio. May want more range to communicate. Need comments regarding sound quality for music input.Then, I met a guy at Laguna Seca with a JMcorp.com communication system. His system plugs into any source. He had a handheld cb radio attached to his bike. I bet a ham radio or the new gfms channels would work too. So I had a brief conversation with his choice while we waited in line to get in. He said that he wanted more range to communicate when on rides with his friends. Don't believe the 2 mile range on the family channels, more like less than half that distance. The clincher was the connection from the helmet. just plug in an accordion cord to a small connector at he base of the helmet. No chatterbox neck from fighting the wind with that big box attached to one side of helmet. Question: Anyone with this system? I understand it is a factory option from Harley,Honda, Arai. Would like to hear about sound quality and reliability.

Check out this helmet speaker/mike setup. You can order it configured for different radios. My wife and I are ham radio operators and we use them with 2 Meter Handhelds. Our use is limited to very short range, so we keep the radios set to the lowest power and actually keep them in our jackets. For longer range it would be simple to construct an external antenna mount somewhere on the bike. The antenna will have the most effect on range. We are happy with this set. It comes with a remote transmit switch which is strapped to the handlebar. My wife is pleased with the installation in her HJC full face helmet. I'm not so happy with my Shoei RF900. The speakers irritate my ears, and there isn't much clearance in the front of the helmet for the mike. My voice resonates inside the helmet which distorts my transmit audio. The MC551 is the one I got. http://www.alfenterprises.com/motorcyle_communication_headsets.htm> http://www.alfenterprises.com/rf_limited_ch550.htm> 72/73, --Rick, KE4IZH KLR650-A14 '01 Blast Chesapeake, Va

This is the last thing the Chaparral salesman told me when I left the dealership. Okay now, we ran some industrial strength electrical cable from the top of the store down to spreading it over the parking lot between two lamp posts. Meanwhile, we out-fitted the KLR with this big pole and hook which runs directly into the flux-capacitor. At the calculated moment, you start off from down the parking lot toward the cable execrating to eighty-eight miles per hour. According to the sales brochure, at 9:00 pm (closing time) lightning will strike the Chaparral sign sending one point twenty-one gigawatts into the flux-capacitor, sending you back to the future.

I think that with the Dynomomium Fuel Ion Separator and the Mushroom Head Expanding Sparking Plug to raise compression, 42 horsepower is certainly not out of the question. I once used the same technique to get 66 HP out of the Honda S-90, enabling me to pull wheelies in third and fourth gears at 85 to 100 mph. Of course, this was back in the old days, during my tenure as nuclear physicist, and the horses weren't as big back then. But Still!
