I’m pretty excited I finally bit the bullet and bought some Rugged Radios today. 3 of the blue RH-5R’s. $85 each plus the helmet kits… Can’t beat that. 2 car kits and one dirt bike kit. When we go on the big rides, my wife will be driving the xp1k, my 7 year daughter will be in the RZR170 and I will be on my WR450. My wife’s kit will be the only helmet kit with the I-pod hook up.
My reasoning behind this purchase. My daughter is at the age where she can drive her rzr long distances but I am a bit worried about her being able to judge obstacles and other people on the trail…. When she rode her quad I could easily catch up and yell and she could hear me and if all else failed I could grab some brake on her bars… Never had to test the "grab brake" theory, but if she was about to cross a trail with an XP blasting down it I would have been able to stop her…. It might have been ugly but better then a 90 degree hit at 80mph. Now she will be inside with a lot of blind spots and she won’t be able to see me or my hand signals. Now I can just say "slow down" "stop" or "faster" I will be able to hear her say things like "can we stop and pic those flowers" " Daddy it’s dusty" "I’m hungry" or "what movie are we watching while you guys sit at the fire"
