Kawa Afterthought
Woo- Hoo,,, just noticed that I'm a lucky winner in the BMW early registration for our Salt Lake City National rally in the " A Little Love from the MOA" promotion. Now I need to look at upgrading my older Norton 104 full face modular helmet as it's on its fourth year of hard use, having sustained a couple of hits from some unfortunate "exit stage left" occurrences in the past couple of years, to pair with my new Scala Rider PackTalk Duo intercom system. Not sure who I will talk to, as my wife has long ago learned to stay away from me while engaging in anything close to sports, (I think the time I fell off the ski lift in Alta Utah while sitting next to her was the icing on the cake where she decided that it would be best to maybe have a few separate vacations). And I usually ride alone, but hey, if I can somehow coax my riding buddy Monty from Kansas or Bob from the UP to ride along with me we could be like two grade school kids who received walkie talkie's for Christmas. So, I'm looking for suggestions to pair the PackTalk with that would be quiet enough to actually hear what is being said on the system. I ride an F700 GS with a Givi AF5107 AirFlow windscreen, that paired with my Norton 104, is not quiet enough to actually hear my itunes with ear buds. Too much wind noise which I attribute to the modular system. I would appreciate any suggestions that lead to a quieter but actually not too much hotter helmet that would take best advantage of the TackTalk system.....Thanks in advance for any suggestions and BTW, looks like it's going to be a great rally (at least for me) if this is any indication of what I have to look forward to at the rally. Utah is one of my favorite places in the US to visit, whether in summer or winter, so can't wait for July to come.
See you all at the National.........Walt E.
