On our recent FarRide to Nambucca Heads (1057km in a round-about sort of way), Streak and I paired our Sena SMH10 headsets so that we could talk to each other while on the move. (Bike to bike comms gives you around 900m max distance before degradation of quality of comms).
Initially, this was a 3 second job, and we intended to listen to music or truckies reports over the uhf, and only talk to each other now and then for ride strategies and tactics.
You see, to switch between my iPhone's phone calls or mp3 tunes to talk to Streak, I simply press the main dial twice, and am dialled in to tx/rx freely by VOX.
This was a much better situation than our first attempt at a FarRide, where one of us would:
a) madly gesture with a waving arm;
b) wait til we had pulled over for fuel to mention something; OR
c) make a phone call to each other whilst on the move.
We ended up
yibbering swapping vital information for 95% of the trip and had an absolute ball doing so!
The Senas performed flawlessly for many, many hours, and a recharge overnight had us good to go again.
Sometimes I like to ride alone, and I think Streak will agree... but this was a bloody fantastic way to while away the miles with a good mate, on good roads, on the BEST types of bike.
Cheers, Diesel
