yea and you have to have all black clothing on to!

 

And, I suppose you never change a CD or look for your sunglasses or change the radio station or a million other things while driving your car? All of those are distractions. Maybe we should make a law against all of those and more. Some people can drive and do other things. Some people can't drive no matter how hard they try and focus on it. Be responsible for your own actions. I've put 100k accident and citation free miles on my cell phone, intercom, music, cb equipped bike so far. I guess I'm not "smart folk" and I can't make good decisions while riding.

 

here's mine...

 

I am a motorcycle courier. All my work comes to me via cellphone; all communication with dispatch is also via cell. When riding, you cannot feel it when it's on vibrate. It must be mounted in front of you so you can see if it has rung, or is ringing. I do not use Bluetooth...ever. Will not attempt to talk while riding, and I won't stick chit in my ears, except maybe my elbows. (joke). Then you pull over and conduct whatever business is necessary. I have rigged a clear plastic pouch to the handlebar to monitor it.

 

Man...reading this makes me wish I was back in the good old non-high-tech days when life was simpler...when we had no leashes. (which is all a cell phone is) Remember the days before cell phones? We got by just fine. I do take mine with me but I rarely check it and it's usually off. Any call I get can wait. My serenity comes first. Just ride.

 

You still using that suitcase size Motorola phone? Thats cool.

 

Same here. My kids complain that I never answer my phone. That's because 99% of the time, it's turned off. Just got an email at work where Director needs to know number where I can be reached after hours. Gave them home phone. Told them I don't use cell phone hardly ever and if I'm away from the house, I can't be reached anyway.

 

without my meds, I look like this:
