    Question One armed ryder needs comms - any suggestions?

    .

    My friend has the use of his left arm only ( Right is there but not working). HE CAN RYDE JUST FINE. We are looking for a communication system/method as he often leads and I ryde sweep. He has a foot throttle( pretty neat) and his left hand is pretty busy with steering and shifting. I thought a phone ( which he always carries) mounted on the bars with bluetooth earbuds would work BUT still involves removing his steering, shifting hand from the bars. He understandably is uncomfortable with that.

    I believe that he doesn't want a Sena like system for him and his wife.

    Any suggestions are most welcome,
    Lew L

    The Sena like System is the system that will actually work best.

    Once turned on and paired to the other send/receive unit(s), the channel can be left open. All that is needed to activate is for someone to start talking. Instant, hands free, communicatoion between units.

    I have tried all of the main systems out there in the last 12 years or so. Now on our third set of senas. Currently Bell Magnum/w built in Sena units. just my .02.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    How about a Voice Activated Mike setup like you get in Helos and stuff?


    Thinking further, or a foot operated push to talk switch, for the other foot thats not on the throttle.

    Good work Lew. Perhaps with the newer Sena units the group could all connect thru a mesh.

    Us too. Too reliable and simple to replace. Trying to get communication from road cap to the sweep.
