Voice operated bike intercom
To be fair, I only bought this because it was cheap at a car boot sale - and the fact that it was still in its original box should have been a clue. But I had visions of casually chatting with the GF as we cruised along, rather than the shouting matches and sign-language we were usually forced into.

So, you clip the earphones and mics into the helmets with velcro, connect them to the belt units, and away you go. But there's a subtle flaw in a system which switches to transmit via voice activation, when you're riding a noisy motorcycle and generating a lot of wind noise: the noise was enough to trip the transmit all the time. And if you turn the gain down, you end up having to shout to make them work, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Used once, dumped in drawer and forgotten.
