Recommend me a two-way intercom which doesn't cost your first born child....

Me and the boss are looking for a two way intercom system...

We're going to be doing plenty of long distance stuff in the future so I'd like to hear her screams of fear etc and she wants to be able to call me a F***ing A***hole when the mood takes her.... :whistle:

Anyway, we had a look at the Scala stuff but it comes up at nearly £300 for two way blue tooth stuff..

ABSOLUTE RIP OFF !! NO CHANCE !!!

Can anyone recommend anything else ? I'd really prefer to keep it wireless if possible though.

Thanks in advance folks.

I've found this cabled one for about £100.

Looks really good with excellent reviews.

I bought my scala rider via Ebay USA and let it ship to Germany... 130USD for the whole set.

e.g.: http://-delete-www.ebay.com/itm/CARD...5e56fb&vxp=mtr

^^I dont know how it is to post direct links in here so delete the "-delete-"^^

137, but maybe you can bring him down to 130USD+shipping


We are using this one for 2up, 30.000km, in the rain, in the desert, it just works great (knonck on wood)

it doesnt have the range for 2 bikes I guess, for two you have to get the G4 230 USD about
