Aiiight, I just ordered up a set of radios.

Once they come in, I will figure out about some kind of headset to use with them.

^ the throat vox I showed truely does work well...you just have to have it snug around your neck....when I bought it, I was still around 170lbs....now I'm 150...so it was too loose around my neck, next time I'll wrap something like velcro around it to hold it closer....when I originally tested it with my wife, she was outside and I was inside the house and it worked perfect

I just ordered a set of these for my t5000 today off of e-bay from a company in hongkong with 100% approval rating looking forward to hands free action on the dragon next year.

No.

I shaved the bumper plugs on my OEM bumper, and now with the new front, there was no provision for a front plate. It has never been on the car.


You should find a way to make it anyway, Phil. What could POSSIBLY be more important?

how is that VOX thingy? i'm thinking about it, but it's not cheap.
VOX generally sucks. 4 out of 5 meets I turn my radio off (or switch to a different channel) because one inconsiderate a-hole insists on a cheap VOX headset which kicks in every time he pushes the gas. If you get a VOX headset, get something like Timmy is suggesting that goes on your throat and does not use a boom microphone (which catch more wind/engine than voice).

With as many of us as there will be on the Dragon, who the hell is gonna need radios? It'll be like that game you played as a child or at a keg party- "Pass It On!"

Lead driver: "Watch out for the deer!"

Middle of pack: "Watch out... I'm changing gears!"

Last driver: "You ain't touchin' my rear!"
