Since I'm on call 24/7 for the IT dept at work, it looks like I need to get a Bluetooth setup for my cell phone. All the ones I have found so far are for open face helmets with a stupid boom mic that sticks out front. Don't think that would work very well at 90mph. Anybody know of anything that I could integrate into my helmet so it's all inside?

You could also try getting a throat mic that works with a bluetooth adapter of some kind. They don't have issues with wind. Also, the boom mic would work even with a FF helmet. Just tuck it inside the chin guard. It will actually do a better job of canceling wind noise than one without the felt cover.Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

Nolan N102 & N84 series NCom helmets are built with a bluetooth adaptor available as an integrated snap-in part for the helmet. The sound quality on their N102 & N84 helmets is pretty awesome compared to most helmets on the market, plus you get the benefit of a flip-open full-face lid in the case of the N102 (I own one sans the blue-tooth, wired up for stereo to my iPod). It won't be cheap, but no blue-tooth option for a moving bike is. Cheapest prices on Nolan's I've found have consistently been through HelmetShop.com, a little helmet-specific vendor in Daytona Beach, FL. Oh, and if you haven't heard of Nolan, just look at Valentino Rossi's head in some of his 2007 race pics -- he's running an N84 these days
Meanwhile, ChatterBox has just announced they are offering a blue-tooth enabled FRS based helmet radio. Chatterbox seems to hold most of the US market, but I have to say that I've never been pleased with their products (two of them failed in the first week on me due to rain exposure while riding).

I bought a Scala Rider bluetooth setup on eBay for around $50.00 (Australian bucks, which are currently worth around 85c US).
It's fine with my full-face Nolan."If they think you're crude, go technical. If they think you're technical, go crude."
