I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup or not, BUT....

I'm looking for an intercom system to use with my wife so that 
we can talk to each other while riding my motorcycle.

I envision a unit, similar to a Walkman, with two earplug/microphone
units that fit inside of a helmet.  I an not interested in a
"radio" type of intercom; with my wife as the passenger and I as the
driver, a "wired" set-up is preferred.  I would prefer it to be 
battery operated, and I can devise an on/off switch which either of
us can operate with our gloved hands.

What is unique about this type of set-up is that the microphones need
to be somewhat sensitive to not picking up alot of wind noise, and
for the same reason, the earplugs must be loud enough to combat 
wind noise without our voices getting too distorted.

I've also thought about installing Walkman type headphones into each
helmet to enhance the audio quality.

Anyway, this is what I am after.  I expect that this will cost on
the order to $50 to $150 depending upon quality...BUT I can't find
anything on the market which meets my needs.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Randy
