What is the easiest way for four bikers to communicate while driving?
I have wondered about this for a while. The helmets, wind and engine sound doesn't really allow to people on motorbikes to communicate well, so how would four people on motorbikes do it? I'm thinking some sort of walkie-talkie with a handsfree, or perhaps cell phones. I live in Norway, and over here we can add a Friends-list to our phones and call them for free. Can you do that in the US? That would be the easiest, I think. Thanks for your time.

You can get radios in the helmets so that the four of them could talk to each other. The mic and the speaker are in the helmet so there is not messing around with anything and the wind is blocked by the helmet so it is pretty easy to hear.
Other than that, they can yell at each other. I have seen someone using a cell phone while riding, but that is dangerous and I really do not know how they could hear with all the wind.

Why does this happen all the time? No offense, but if you don't have anything useful to say, please shut the fuck up. Telepathy? *sigh* That's the dumbest thing I've heard since "George W. Bush for president!"

Why did you need to waste time, a) wondering, and b) coming to WF? I simply Googled "biker communicate" and found the answer in 0.16 seconds.

I'm just sick of people coming up with completely useless ideas while trying to be "funny" (it never works). If you want to try to be funny, go to the off-topic forum instead and stop wasting my time. I asked a simple question. If you don't know the answer, why bother answer at all just to get your post count up?
But anyway, I got my answer, so thanks to all of you who had something useful to say. For the rest of you, better luck next time.

Welcome to the internet. You obviously haven't been using it very long, or else you would realize that this kind of behavior is normal and generally accepted. |

Ox is right. This whole section is almost entirely redundant as it is.

I'm not wasting your time. You are wasting your own time by reading posts you don't care about, and even more time by taking the time to tell me about it. All you have to do is not read the post in the first place.
And while I have used the internet a long time, I don't think idiotic behavior online should be accepted any more than idiotic behavior offline should be accepted. But maybe that's just me.
