Winter update #6

Look what the cat dragged in:



Or cat is maybe an incorrect name.. My friend went to Germany, and picked up this little unit for me.

It is prehaps not a surprise that I have decided on a helmet from Schuberth, and I wanted this set. Why you may inquire? Several reasons: The helmet I wanted because I recently tried it on at the MC convention just outside Oslo, and with some help from a representative from Schuberth, I found the helmet to be damn near perfect. It is lightweight, it is yellow and it is small. AND: It comes with this fancy "in-helmet" audio-gear, with build in RDS radio, Bluetooth and bike to bike functionallity.

My autocom has very good sound quality, but it is VERY annoying to deal with the placement of the velcro-attached earpieces that dig into your head. Also, I think it pulls a bit of power even when it is powered off.

All in all I think this is the better solution...

I haven't got the actual helmet yet, but I will prepare the SRC system for my first ride, by upgrading the firmware...

Yes, all nine readers of this blog: The helmet has a firmware update function =)

Stay tuned!
