Default I have seen it all

Firsrt of all let me say that i'm a new rider just got my road king classic a month ago and still learning to ride it well. Can someone tell my why at an intersection making a left hand turn i saw a guy on an road king making a left with one hand on the throttle and the other hand with a cell phone up to his ear. Either he is a very good driver or crazy. Just my two cents

I've never seen that but he isn't too bright. If you absolutely, positively, must use your cell phone while riding, most riders use a Bluetooth..

There are people that actually like it, when wifey pesters them during a ride.

Mine stays in the saddlebag. She can limit her bitching to rest stops.

A few years ago while in central FL at a stop light we watched a rub on his Bourget try to stop/down shift to stop while talking on his cell. It was quite comical especially when the bike was chugging/stalling to a stop and then it just started to lay over, that's when he couldn't figure out what to save, the phone or the bike.

How do you fit your wife in the saddlebag? She must be flexible.
