New to this site; I normally hangout at nakedgoldwings.com and classicgoldwings.com as they specialize in old 'Wings. But this is more user-oriented so I thought I'd find some other forum to ask this on.
My wife and I bought a nice 1980 'Wing with trailer a few years ago (after the boys were grown and gone
) and now we want to travel. My problem is in sifting through the tremendous amount of information out there on various products related to the subject line.
Here's what we're looking for, and I hope someone can help me find a site or search term for Google or Bing to arrive at a narrowed-down list:
We want to protect our hearing - ear plugs - although it never occured to me to use them until I read about the (possible) problem on web bike world, have a sound system so we can easily talk to one another, listen to a radio, IPod/MP3 player and XM Satellite, and have the noise level down far enough that we don't have to blast the volume to hear (my hearing is worse than hers).
So .... several questions: (1) is it common to wear ear plugs when using an intercom system? (2) is it best to find the best helmet's we can afford and then look at intercoms, or are there helmet/intercom combo's out there we can use as a start? (3) any opinions on wireless vs. wired? (4) and am I missing something we should consider?
