Ok whatever Gasman said. lol..

The only things I don't like about them is this:

1. Terrible sound quality out of headphones - they need a serious upgrade for those especially when you are listening to MP3s

2. Short battery life - make sure you get a spare battery and bring it with you charged

3. Wires - I hate all the cottonpicken wires that you have to deal with - it takes you 10 minutes to mount up or dismount - I really wish they would step out of the 19th century into the 21st and go fricken wireless

What was cool though when we went to Mid-Ohio I had one and so did another rider. He gave Motorola radios to a car and they could talk to us as well. They are nice for long rides but other than that I use hand signals or just ride.

Iam not a big fan of then I like to be in my own world when I'm ripping up the road.

I am totally with you on that one which is why I suggested what I did in the beginning when everyone jumped on the chatterbox bandwagon blah blah blah. Does anyone every listen to MP? Hell no. Now people are offing them on Ebay. Go figure. But I usually ride to tune out all the everyday bullsh!t so I don't need some squid barking in my ear. Tunes are cool but I have found them to be a distraction (i.e. low siding).

Heck yeah...Riding is the only thing that keeps me from shooting the Arab ****ers I work with. I wish there was some american programmers left besides me.

Not sure if that was politically correct but during the reign of MP it will be ok because politically correct will be a thing of the past..

I'm sold on getting a chatterbox. I believe the FRS-X2 is the model for me. Retail is 279.99 but I've seen seen around the net for slightly less than 200.00. I'm going to ask my local store what they can do with their price and then figure out who to make the order from. I will recommend the HJC-FRS and the FRS-X2 to my step-dad. I'm sure with me getting the X2, he/they will too.

I bought mine like new off ebay for $100.
