Does anyone have any experience with the bluetooth cell phone accessories that are made for motorcycle helmets? What brands would you recommend?

Don't get on my case about the dangers of riding while on the phone. I always pull over to talk; i just hate taking my helmet off to answer the call.

Do what I do. Turn the phone off. That way it never rings and I never have to pull over. I ride to get away from stuff like phone calls. I just take the phone along for emergencies and to let my wife know when I'm coming home.

Raproe, I'm with you. No phone, clock, radio or anything.
I don't even want an oil temperature gauge.

I say if you can hear your cell phone ring while your riding your mufflers aren't loud enough.

Mufflers are stock. (I'm almost embarrassed to admit that around here).

TORS would solve your bluetooth issues.

I'm with the others: I ride to get away from that stuff. That's why I have a Bonneville without a lot of ***** on it, just the clocks and some idiot lights.

Having said that, I did just see an ad in the january Motorcyclist for a Nolan (I think) bluetooth helmet. It seems to have the widgetry built in.

I saw a guy with an open face and he just jams the phone between the helmet and his cheekbone

Sadly, gentlemen, there are an exponentially inreasing number of us who are in professions where not being accessable 24/7 is considered unacceptable. Welcome to the 21st century.
