Doing The Vietnam Moto Trip; Need Gear Advice

Illustration for article titled Doing The Vietnam Moto Trip; Need Gear Advice

It’s long been a dream of mine to replicate the Top Gear journey across Vietnam, and come April, I get my shot!



I’ma rock up and buy a motorbike and have an adventure.



My question for the moto crew out there is this -

We’ll be travelling as a duo, riding our motorcycles and wearing helmets. Particularly at higher speeds, I imagine communication will be difficult.



Is there some sort of off-the-shelf radio/comms thing I can buy that would be ideal for this situation? Basically so if we’re hooning along the highway between cities at 60 km/h we can hear each other.



I want something that works; i.e. not the cheapest eBay thing that has audio quality too poor to be useful. At the same time I don’t want to spend $500 on a gold-plated ICOM solution.



Any tips welcome - thanks Oppos <3
