The LAST thing I want to do is to "talk or listen" to my wife while riding. I've had my 15' Ultra Limited for 5 years and have never taken the headsets out of their original carton. She doesn't even know there's an intercom.....lol.....I plan to keep it that way too!....lol

actually my wife and i talk very little, but it is very nice to have that option verses the stab in the ribs when she needs to pee, also good to connect to the other riders for the same thing plus rest breaks and gas stops

I have used the senna as wel as other cheaper bluetooth systems and they do not compare with how awesome the packtalk is in its abilities. this system is hands down the best upgrade i have made to my bike and that includes engine mods and suspension. well worth the cost(but make sure you get the larger mic foam)

With this new Carda system that has the much better audio thru it's speakers: Could those be the J&B speakers tat can gotten with Carda?

Have a look at the Sena Cavalry half helmet with integrated comms. I've been very happy with mine.

I ride a 15 flhtk and have a cavalry half helmet. She rides a Deluxe For our ride to Sturgis we got her a sena 10 and put on a half helmet for her. She was able to bluetooth music from a mp3 player. we got some of the ear pockets for her speakers. If she wanted to talk to me she just pushed the button one time to switch to intercom . mine stayed in the intercom mode always. If I wanted to talk to her I tapped the my helmet a couple times so she knew to switch to intercom mode. It worked very well I would hear some wind noise when she spoke but not bad
