Hi guys
I'm Shiney's wife Carrol most of my friends
call me Caz I answer to both.
I accompany Shiney since my seat is on back
I like to sometimes go fast, but I've no control over that..
Shiney's a good bloke he takes it easy for me
since I'm ill and bumps bruise me.
Not saying saying I'm fragile just some rides
are better than others. ( less bumps)
Love our Blue ST as she has a super comfy seat.

Oh, so you're 'Mrs Shiney', (he says with a grin.) :grin (see)
My wife is Claire - (she's Mrs RexJ.)
Welcome, and may the highways and byways travelled on by you (& Shiney) and the Blue be gentle on your bruises. :wink1

G'day Caz,
Welcome aboard, (or is that welcome a broad - sorry), the forum.
Your presence is important cause my wife (Terese) needs as much encouragement as possible to come on rides. She says it's cold, hot, dangerous, uncomfortable after a while, can't sleep, can't talk to me, can't listen to radio or CD and one time we even fell off together!
And I say "Darl", I say "Sweetheart", I say "Honey" - "You're missing the point - it's adventure!". :runyay
I'm trying to do what I can about the above "problems". Your presence and the other ozStoc ladies helps, however we have only met one, that is "Mrs Atoyot - Lindy". If your health improves it would be wonderful to meet u at Ebor, (and Shiney who is one of the real positive influences in ozStoc), (if u were planning to go, that is).

Hi Caz, it's good to see you're online.... sharing a patch of grass at Middleton was fun - hopefully we'll meet again in Ballarat.
-
Thank you all for the warm welcome, lovely
to see many whom I've already meet.
Thanks again Stinky Pete for the tour and
it was a pleasure to chat with Chris and yourself.
:)
ST George you need to let her know that it's
something you guys can do together.
Shiney and I have far different hobbies I
enjoy re-doing furniture and he enjoys his
gaming but we both enjoy going for the
adventures and rides to eat ( at some of these
points some of us lady's have a look at the
local shops ) It's something I myself enjoy
and it a great social event and I get to meet
and I already have, the most wonderful people.
It might also help if you get a headset like
ours so the two of you can chat and listen to
music. We have a SMH 10 which is a blue tooth
headset which connects through your phone
so you can listen to your own choice of tune
or chat to each other. Myself I like to listen to
the wind in my hair and snap a few photo's of the
scenery from my seat.
Thanks everyone ;)
I'm not sure if Shiney and I will make the next
day ride as Shiney may have to work.
But try to do a few RTE as they are good fun
See you around :blu13

I have got music sorted that works thru the comms package that I inherited from Desty. It uses a SD card in the GPS system and works well. However the pillions microphone was missing from the bits and pieces so I ordered one and when it arrived I found that one of the cables was missing the connection to plug the mic into. This part is no longer available, so I will try and go to Jaycar and buy the bits and connect it myself.
I'll try and post up a cupla pics of the problem first and let the gang comment if they can help.
Haven't had much to do with electrickery but understand the basics like +ve, -ve and fuses! So this will be a learning curve. It's important tho cause talking is the most important thing when the bike discovers something that u might miss in a car or its time for a break and a stretch.
Anyway, thanx for the tips Caz. :hatwave

I've got problems with mine as well, sound though the bluetooth is very quiet and can hardly be heard even turned up flat out.
Working on it...
-
I gave up on bluetooth intercoms. The time it took to initialise them every time you turned them on was a PITA. Then, as you say, the communication wasn't always great.
I've seen reports of users communicating quite some distance (20+ metres) with them very effectively, so they do work for some people.
Hard wired has obvious drawbacks, but their stability more than compensates.

Bluetooth has come a long way, Shiney, Teela and I used Sena SMH10 Bluetooth units for the trip to SA and back for national rally, and they where fantastic, clear as a bell, over 12 hours battery life, and we had around 1km of distance between us a times with Shiney being at the tail end of the group and myself leading.
On the return trip we had 3 units synced together and they worked flawlessly, it was a clear open 3 way conversation.
Fully waterproof, we well and truly tested that out at one point!
My unit when I turn it on automatically syncs with my iPhone, which functions as my GPS/Music/Phone, all is very simple, with very little fuss to use :thumb
-
I have a Scala Q2 I think the technology was fairly new when the Q2 was first released.
I'll be updating to the Sena before ballarat and 2 new helmets for mrs Sabie and me.
-
Just to jump in on this also...
As Streak said the SMH10 is an amazing bit of tech I highly recommend :thumb
