BT Helmet comms

Mrs. Emerikol and I use SMH-5's, also by Sena. My other riding buddy also has one. The only complaint that I have with the 5 series is that you can only talk to one member of the group at a time. You have to physically reach up and tap the 'jog' button to switch between riders. I may look into upgrading to a different model this year, but I will definitely stay with the Sena brand. If and when I do upgrade, I'll let everyone know what I go with and do a report on it, and possibly post the old SMH-5 units for sale. They work really well, and the bluetooth pairing is great for music and phone calls on the road. Hope everyone is warm and dry with this weather. Happy riding, everyone!

You can talk with up to 4 on the SMH10s with some weird daisy chaining, but directly you can talk 3 way. Which is actually great for playing "Eye Spy" on long boring stretches

I will say that I won't ever do road trips with friends without comms. They make the ride so much safer. With a tail rider that can clear the line in traffic for the pack or quickly report trouble it just is worlds better. Probably one of my favorite pieces of bike gear.
