See here to buy one:

Alternatively, buy a Motorola HT820 Stereo bluetooth headset ( http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=124523&asource=E398ASIAN ) and chop it up to fit inside the helmut and enjoy wireless stereo sound too. Oh, isn't life fun?

I must be getting old but sort of defeats the object of riding a bike unless you do it for a living?

No, but I ride my bike while earning my living, and i need to be available to contact while riding during the day. I have been searching for such a device for ages now. Also, using the new adaptors you could use blyetooth on your satnav or intercom so that you don't get nasty trailing wires everywhere.

You could of course wear an open face helmet and ride along grinning inanely behind a diesel lorry... sorry, that would give you blacktooth of course...

Saw the perfect solution in Bologna while on hols recently.

Bloke on a superscoot, open faced lid, Motorola Flip phone opened and wedged in the side of his lid. Cheaper than bluetooth.

:D

Theres been quite a bit of choice for a while now Space. Ive been successfully using a Sony Ericsson HBH-200, with the earpiece in and the rest taped inside the chin/mouth cover of the helmet...not brilliant for voice dialling, you need to slow down a tad but usable.
There's the Motorola HS830, which is a dedicated unit and you could quite easliy use any of the bluetooth lanyard set ups like the Nokia Bluetooth Clip-on Headset HS-3W as well and the Sony Ericsson HPM-20.

Yeah, I did think of that, but I'm not a fan of ear pieces in stu- so the speaker on this seems ideal as it is wafer thin.

What about the momo helmet with bluetooth? I think Dainese have jumped on the bandwagon too. Silly prices though.

The Momo as far as I can remember uses the Motorola unit. This unit can be adapted to any full or open face.

I think the best of the helmuts with bluetooth installed are the BMW lids, but I have a Roof that fits perfectly and I like it so I have to make my own.
