Not All Who Wander Are Lost
As NFO and those long rides with fellow FJR owners rapidly approach, I am, once again, toying with the idea of rigging some type of bike to bike communication system through an existing Starcom1 set up. For those of you that have already headed down this path, how has it worked out? For example, do the radios really only have a working range of 2-5 miles as most reviews indicate? Why purchase radios when almost everyone already owns a cell phone (other than being able to communicate in no cell service zones)? Is communicating through a radio less distracting than using a cell patched into the intercom (how many of us have sworn never to talk on a cell phone while riding)? Do you find yourselves ignoring less-than-urgent communications to concentrate on the real task at hand? What other issues should I be paying attention to?
Thanks.
Thanks.
