Ok lets get this right. You really give a sh*t your phones is ringing when your riding? Is that not one reason to ride to get away from that damn phone? Just check it at a gas stop the hell with talkin and riding. Thats all we need lets face it there are enough people out there tryin to ride who can't now we let then use thier phones. Are we nuts?Forget bluetooth really just check it when you stop.

hmmmmm,
thinking politely.
thank you for your concern and i agree with you about driving and talking. let me guess, you do it while driving a car i'll bet. i however do not. but i do have a need to be able to be contacted while traveling. and i very seldom answer while driving but i will pull over and return the call.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;btw i do own a set of service manuals as well
have a great life

Last I checked the HD Bluetooth has been made an obsolete part number and they did not have a replacement yet.&nbsp\\; I am looking at the Zumo with JM interface.

&nbsp\\;
I'm with you on that one.&nbsp\\; When I ride, it's about getting away from it all and clearing my mind.&nbsp\\; I have 4 kids, ages 16,15, and two 10 yr olds, AND I run my own business, so I definitely have a need to be available if someone should have a question or emergency.&nbsp\\; I set my phone to vibrate and check my voice mail at the next stop.
&nbsp\\;
There's nothing so important it can't wait.

If I had bluetooth on mine, my wife would feel better about being away from the kids longer than a couple of hours.&nbsp\\; And I don't believe that she would pose any danger to you while she is talking on the phone, sitting behind me.&nbsp\\; Believe it or not, there are some responsible people out there.

I think I'm gonna go with the Camos BTS200 - they look really nice. An upgrade over the older BHS600, which were like the BlueAnt and Q2 from Scala. A just released product.

As much&nbsp\\; trouble as I have had with mine I not surprised that it has been withdrawn from the market.&nbsp\\;
