I have the same rig. I used the smaller adhesive MIC that sticks to the inside of the chin guard. Found the boom MIC a little cumbersome and too Buck Rogers looking.

I use earplugs when I ride so I can't really take a call when riding as I can't hear at anything above 50 MPH. The bluetooth is easy to use and was a breeze to pair with my Ducati's on-board bluetooth system. You can listen to the radio or tunes off your phone. Toggle wheel on the unit makes it easy to adjust volume, advance or back up your song line-up, or take and make phone calls.

Having said all of that, I don't use it for anything other than the intercom function as it connects to other SENA's in range. When I'm on my bike I don't care to listen to music and I sure don't want to talk on the phone.

I tour exclusively with just one other guy who I have known my whole life and trust not to do anything stupid on the road. We both run the same SENAs and use it only when we are touring together. I like to be able to chat with him on the road and warn/be warned of upcoming road conditions/fuel stops/cops/coffee breaks etc. Have used it on two long distance (4000+ mile trips) with him. it really adds to the trip being able to communicate with your buddy.

Battery life is outstanding (10-12 hours) but range falls off beyond 1 mile or out of line-of-sight. Would be nice if range could be boosted. If you have a charging port on your bike you can charge as you ride and still use the rig as it come with a short cord and a long one. Highly recommend it for touring with your buddy.

Wouldn't want it if the wife was the riding pillion. She is painful enough in the passenger seat of the 911. Can't imagine giving her a direct line into my ear on the bike. On the road I've seen guys with the wife riding b!tch; SENAs on both helmets. I always think to myself, "Poor bastard."
