The radio communication between bikes was for her comfort and non stop talking abilities. Your quote is like reading my mind. (I hope my wife doesnt read this)

My GF asked if we could get a intercom set-up to talk while we ride 2-up. I didn't have the heart to tell her that's why I go out on my bike. Riding 2-up is like a comprimise; she's still with me, but she can't say anything.

Ummm Yeah David.... I DO read these threads. 
I wanted to see if there were any links. So far I don't see any.
We are going on a long ride this weekend and I would prefer to have headset communication- (not hand signals). I've seen a few sets where you can get the fm tuner, phone and bike to bike comm. I just wanted to know if there were any companies you all would recommend. And it has to be compatible with my half helmet. The majority I am seeing are for the 3/4 or full face helmets. Maybe I just need to buy another new helmet AS WELL.

My 2 cents

best on the market, but a little pricey. Great for cell phones, ipod, speaking with up to 3 people in you group. Buddy has it and called me at home, I had no idea he was doing 70 down the freeway. crisp and clear. mounts to any helmet it states.

We got the Q2 bike to bike Scala riders and we love them. You can talk or listen to FM Radio. We found that even with the half helmets the wind does not interfer too much. Good investment

I always thought tapping the top of your head/helmet meant COPS!!! Come to find out now that it's officially the Highbeam signal...
