Yeah, this is may be a review thread about a product, but I have to agree with the other protesters, here. You don't need a damn distraction on your handlebars to take your eyes off the road, or your hands off the grips. I don't care if you've been riding from the cradle. Anyone who thinks that experience makes them more "able" to handle these distractions is cocky and just asking to wear a semi on their forehead. I ride to get away from all that crap. Leave your damn cell phone at home or at very least in your saddlebag. Attend to it when you're off the bike! WTF???

ok. I am not trying to be a smartass I just have to ask why? Why do you need/want a phone holder for you bike?

You cant answer or talk on it. At least I hope you don't. Put it in your pocket or saddlebag. its free.

Hey, ride anyway you want. It amazes me that all bike riders claim they want their freedom and then they are the first to tell someone else how to ride and what to do. You guys sound like a bunch of hypocrites to me.

Anyway check out the site. I have one of their iPod holders and it works great.

If your going to get that I suggest having a zip tie or 2 around it or some kind of clamp. Here in NJ the roads are so crappy any pothole hit would launch the phone right out of that thing.

If you are referring to the Gunslinger holder, I had my doubts too. But with over 1000 miles using one, it works.

While you're at it, why not mounts and/or connections for your microwave, beer cooler, and maybe a small flat screen TV? Turn that sucker into a two-wheel RV.

Under AAA and most insurance, motorcycles are considered RVs I think you were referencing a MotorHome

No sir, I respectfully disagree. Biking is ALL about responsibility. There is a HUGE difference between responsibly glancing at a GPS system on your bars to ensure your route, than mindlessly staring at it to watch the little arrow move. If you cannot drive with safety in mind then I agree, you should not use this device. However, if you can drive responsibly and carefully, there should be no problem with it.

I personally don't give 2 craps about what you do, but I will say that Pandora set to Waylon Jennings on a long ride on the SG is some good company.

That is all.
