I just pull over at a rest stop and use my cell phone because she doesn't like to wear the helmet at home in the kitchen while she is doing the dishes.[sm=lol.gif]

My wife rides her own bike, and I have earphones in listening to my MP3. If she wants to talk, gotta wait until we do a rest stop. Thank God she isn't a chatter box.

I enjoy the amusing replies above, but for actual information, check out the following link:

http://www.sierra-mc.com/products.asp?id=82

Shopping around there ought to give you some options with the 1/2 helmets, and I found their products to be better than the Nady communications device -- which shorts out too quickly and needs replacing often.

Hope that helps!
