Does anyone have any experience with the Chatterbox or any other of the intercom systems used to speak to other riders while you are traveling? I am looking to see if the product works well, is it easy to install, does it hold up??

Thanks

I haven't used any since the Nady systems of the eighties, and they were REALLY bad. I heard the new chatterbox systems work well however......

ice cube uses them in "torque"

i guess i could always purchase and if unhappy take them up on the ol' return policy, but hoping someone has used them more recently......in non Hollywood style environ

whatev yo...my life is exactly like that movie...

I've had my Chatterbox unit for 2 1/2 years. Great product. It does take some "tweaking" to set the vox to the right sensitivity, but if you use the PTT then it's all good from the beginning. I have the one (can't remember the model) that has a 2 mile range. In reality, it probably only goes 1/2 mile, but we usually ride fairly close together anyway so it's not an issue. If your helmet is a noisy one it can make it difficult to hear at speeds above 55 mph. I don't have a problem at all hearing. I also use mine to pipe in music for those long trips. AWESOME!! I'd get another one given the chance.

God Nibblers! Now you've shattered ALL my illusions.
