If I'm waitin on a call and want to answer it while I'm riding. I don't want anybody tellin me what's safe and not.
Like tellin me riding with a Helment is not safe.
It should be up to the person that rides to deceide.
I don't need anybody to ****** me.

I have a Zumo 550 and have rode with it for several years with no problem.

Again I can walk and chew gum too.

Yo Dude, answering a call with these things is NO DIFFERENT than anyone using them to communicate with each other on a ride, their intended purpose! Completely hands free. I think you can even open the line by blowing on the mic! Again, not lookin to have this set-up so I can play teenage girl & catch up w/ all my girlfriends... Just lookin for the best set up to get the most from my Zumo! Let's not turn this thread into something it's not! Anybody else with any ideas on best, or does scala have the product, hands down? Appreciate any constructive input.

Logic would seem to indicate that talking on the phone is no different than talking to a passenger... but it *is* different. Studies show totally different parts of your brain light up. For whatever reason, talking on the phone makes you pretty much shut out everything else (even if you think you're doing otherwise). Talking hands free makes no difference. Weird but true.

I haven't made a purchase yet, but I've been seriously researching comm systems for about a year. Scala seems to have it hands down.

calls while riding is important because the sales guy at the steelership is his bro calls him first if they got some new swag because it is know that he is born to be wild . Having the latest official gear will keep him the "man" in the H.O.G. chapter
