As designated driver I shall expect frequent refreshment on request...

But i'm just a poor student, where as Jon is a high flying city boy...he should pay for the beers.

A poor student who just spent £500 on a Yoshi?? I think you should all be buying me drinks and lunch come to think of it

Lol i didn't spend £500, i was going to, but i hunted for a bargain.

I still maintain my impoverished status, but might buy you a drink if you behave yourself.

Well over 3/4 years.....not sure really.

I've had a few bikes but for the most part i've sold them for what i initially paid. Most expensive thing were the continual rebuilds of my Mito/RS125's.

Having just read the 'intercoms' thread in bike talk/issues, i have come to the conclusion that we should all get them. Not only will it allow Jon to deliver compelling tales as we ride, but by default we get call-signs.

E.G. as we go racing up an undetermined A-road, Jon "short-stack/high-tower" (etc), can tell Nick6 "honey-badger" to slow down(on the straights obviously) so we all stay together.

As it turns out they are meant to be cheap at the NEC....it would be rude not to.

How cheap is cheap? I agree that it would be fun to get an intercom system set up but if it going to cost an arm and a leg then I might not bother.

Jon

PS - I have dibbs on the callsign "Maverick" - yes it is a clishe but I am short, I ride a motorbike and my devilish good looks mean that I am the closest thing that the TV Sausage factory has to Tom Cruise .

On second thoughts, those intercom kits look well expensive! When you look at them they seem to start off at a decent price, but when you realise that you have to upgrade to a version that will accept a Bike2Bike radio and then buy the radio on top things start to get real expensive.

The alternative could be to just buy a bunch of radio's from ebay and get ear peices and microphones for them!

Maverick......Tom Cruise....The Hoff.....is there something you need to tell us Jon?

Excellent idea, so long as they are cheap!
