Dont mean to go off topic to much here, but i have pasted a comment from another forum i subscribe to. This was from last year and i am always reminded of it.

"I firmly believe each rider should do his or her own thing with his or her own bike, so don't take the following as any kind of statement, it's just a funny story, to me anyway.   A guy in my Army reserve unit a few years ago was asking those of us who rode what he should get his folks for Christmas. They were retired and the old man was hardcore about his Goldwing. Had it hooked up!

But, Jay came to the conclusion that his folks didn't have an intercom, so what about getting them intercom helmets for Christmas? The bike's wired for it, right? We all advised against it. We explained that a bike is like underwear: how you wear it is very personal and any outside input will likely be unwelcome. If the old man wanted an intercom system, he would have it, we explained.  

Fast-forward to the January drill: He explained that he went shopping and got the intercom helmets. He wrapped them individually. His mom opened hers and was thrilled and said "this is great. I've been trying to get your father to get these for years!" and walked off into the kitchen. The old man was sitting  there with his and not the least bit happy. "Son," He told him, "If I wanted to talk to your mother, I'd take the f****** car!"   Apparently, the system broke the first time they tried to use it. He must have bought a cheap system.
