I'm heading off on a trip soon with another person. I have heard (no pun intended) that walkie talkies are a great way to keep in touch. Who uses em' and any recommendations of which brand or what to avoid etc...
Walkie Talkies - talk to me....I'm looking to purchase a set. Which do you recommend?

By walkie talkie I assume you mean bike to bike radios or PMRs?
As a bike instructor I have used PMRs for many years to communicate with students - I use an IntaRide IR803 which has been absolutely rock solid and reliable for nearly ten years. There are cheaper options that you might consider as you will not need a hi-spec radio for your needs. IntaRide have quite a selection so I suggest that you give them a call.
You will also need a headset, harness and PTT (Push To Talk) button to mount on your bars if you go wired or they have a Bluetooth solution - depends on your budget.

I agree with his lordship BUT, a good quality bluetooth intercom will do what you want just as well.
...and you'll be able to take phone calls and/or listen to music.

That is my thinking, I have Schuberth SC1 comms made by Sena, and they say you can talk to the bike in front a KM away, not tried that yet, but works well with pillion, sometimes to well.
We've used MT600 for around 6years.
£30 for a pair (used)...
2 x AliExpress helmet headsets with mic & ptt = £30...
£60... Good for nearly a mile depending on conditions.

I have an interide 803/ Autocom setup which are permanently hard wired to the bike with an external aerial. I also have a couple of Kenwood Funkey radios which I loan to a mate who also has Autocom. The funkeys take AA batteries which last for weeks.
