I have a pair of VOX radios but I've never actually tried them despite buying them specifically for communicating with the pits from the track
For road use I tried my mobile phone years ago and that worked fine up until about 60kph when wind noise made it impossible to hear or speak clearly enough.
Worse than that though I found I was concentrating on riding and wasn't hearing what was being said anyway
My brother has used radios when touring but also found them useless at highway speeds.
I'll have to try these bloody radios out sometime soon and see how well they work.
Don't carry pillions so its not really an issue. Communication with other bikes is kept very simple.
Point at the tank means petrol or stop for a 'natural break' (thankyou cycling terminologly).
Point at lid, around the mouth area means food or drink.
Vertical nod means yes or I understand
Horizontal nod means no.
Wild gesticulation pointing forwards means, Would you MOVE IT!!!
Wild gesticulation pointing to the rear means, your paniers fell off or you have a flat...... JUST STOP!!!!
Shrug of shoulders means I have no idea where we are, where we are going, or how we are going to get there. Did those kids at the last cross road turn the sign the other way???
Hey wait I didn't hear the universal sign. You know the one between your index and ring finger:rotfl:
