I am looking to buy a rider/pillion communication set and came across the Oxford Bike Mike 3 for less than R900. To me the pros and cons would be 
Pros
Runs off bikes 12v so no worries about battery life and recharging - a big plus for longer trips
Cheaper than bluetooth alternatives
Cons
Wires to worry about when getting off the bike
Can't be used between bikes because of the wires

I have no idea how useful it will be in practice and because I've become used to earplugs when riding I am concerned that wind noise will be an irritation again unless I can use my iPod earphones with it.

Anybody have experience with it or can suggest alternatives with their price?
