The sena runs around 200 but has a really cool clamping mechanism, and is getting 5/5 ratings for tourer guys. How old is the scala or chatterbox ?

Also, do you think that vector is a good deal? I mean, 5 year warrenty, and its an arai.

I am not sure where you are located... but sunrise and cycle gear in norfolk are side by side... and they carry pretty much all those makes... except fulmer. Either way.

My scala is about a year old now. Give or take a couple of months. It holds a charge great as I rarely charge it, but every few rides when I think it needs it. I don't think that I have ever had it die on me but once. I have had no problems linking the blue tooth to my girls headset, and my roommates headset. You can only have 3 headsets connected at a time. Which is the typical bluetooth headset. The others that can connect more use a CB radio and tend to be bigger and more bulky.

I connected to my behold, my behold 2, my LG G2X and my motorola rizr. My girl has connected to her Iphone 3gs and my roommate connects to his garbage phone. Whatever it is (pffftt... that shit still has buttons!) Who has buttons anymore honestly?!

I also purchased a separate headset and took apart a set of headphones and replaced it with the scala headset. So my girl can now drive her car with a headset on and talk to me on my bike... or my daughter can talk to me while I am riding. It works great for when I am doing my stunts and I want her to take specific shot and videos.

"Honey, I think I might be home late tonight."

I need a GoPro just because I see so much crazy stuff on the way to work.

Would any of you be interested in CF or OEM plastics for older bikes like 90s zx6's? Trying to see if it's worth digging them out of the warehouse.

Was that him slamming on the brakes that made all that smoke? Should've stopped earlier if that was the case.

Other than that, check mirrors coming in for a stop and bump over if need be.
