    Do I look like a Cop ?

    Hmm, the exact same thing happens to me, But only when I ride my BMW ;)

    Tourer

    Heck, I did a 566 mile day on my Paul Smart during Moto GP week. No problems at all. A 1098 is like a recliner compared to the Smart. I had originally planned to try about 300 and go from there. I could have easily gone farther.

    What's your favorite Helmet to Helmet communications system?

    I spent 400 miles adjusting settings. Seems like the advance actually has more adjustability then the digital. If I don't get the digital dialed in maybe I'll try the Advance1.

    What's your favorite Helmet to Helmet communications system?

    Thats one of the problems with the Digital system. Your choices are either Hi,lo or off. I've tried every combination with the same results. At lower speeds it's okay, but once on the freeway forget it. Although I'm using the tall Yamaha windshield, I'm really hoping that a taller one will...

    What's your favorite Helmet to Helmet communications system?

    Curious, How are you using your system and which system do you have? It seems like alot of people have praise for the system but seldom if ever use it two up. I've had no problems using it as a device to play my Ipod, Zumo or listen to XM thru, but as a device to communicate with a pillion, it...

    Starcom Digital arrives

    Nice install. I installed my PTT switch on the bottom as well. Much easier to use your thumb on it in that position. Very interested in hearing your impressions of how well the unit works with a pillion at speed.

    SoCal Ride to Malibu & Santa Monica mountains

    Hey guys have a great ride, wish I could join you on my FJR, but I'll be there riding my BMW. (hint hint) Be careful on the PCH portion of the ride in Malibu. During the summer there is increased enforcement so the Motorcops will be out in force. Be particularly careful in the 45mph sections of...

    Scorpion EXO-1000 Owners

    I have both the 700 and the 1000 as well. Both the same size. My Visor doesn't rattle either. I really like the 1000 and would buy another one. I just cant get into spending 500 bucks for a helmet.

    Communication Systems

    Vox does come into play. There is no way to set the mic on the digital at 20% and when you set the mics for "Off" it actually does just the opposite of what your saying. Your supposed to set it for "Hi" when there is alot of wind noise. "off" actually has the mics on all the time. I have the PTT...

    Communication Systems

    yeah, thats the problem. I've tried hi and lo and it doesn't work. Off just means the mic is on constantly, so there is no way to even just turn the damn thing off. Maybe getting the digital version wasn't the best idea. FWIW, mine works perfectly in the garage also. ;)

    Communication Systems

    I'm having that problem with my starcomm digital and it's driving my nuts. The mics pick up way to much wind noise. My riding buddy has a autocom and I can hear him crystal clear at times when he can't understand anything I'm saying due to the wind noise from my mic and when I have a pillion...

    Does this look like $9K worth of damage to you?

    I feel your pain. My 04 was recently damaged. It got hit right at the left staintune and basically all the left side bodywork, the rear cowl, luggage rack and left pannier need replacing. With a $5500 estimate, the Ins has already told me they want to total it. I rode it almost 600 miles back...

    What do your 2-wheel LEOs wear?

    If The one you saw was on a BMW, it was probably me. We are currently testing Three different models of flip helmets. I was testing a shuberth for almost a month. We are also field testing a Nolan and the Shoei multitec. Our department policy is that all motors are required to wear thier...
