What I hear and read (even here) is some people have adopted a sense of self importance and skill set that allows them to do what is humanly impossible. That being safely operate a cage or bike an navigate it through a sea of obstructions, hazards and equally distracted drivers.

Are you that ***** whipped? I thought that is why we got on the bike and took off, no phones, no work, no worries. I guess I got it wrong.....

This is not new, Harley produced a bluetooth module for the Harmon Kardon radios when they first came out. I had one on my 2006 Ultra, and now have one on my 2011 Ultra Limited. When I got the 2011 bike, the module had been discontinued, but I found a NOS one.
The module interfaces with the radio and it has voice control. You use a helmet mounted headset to talk. It will interrupt the radio, and then when your call is done, return you to your music.
Because of work, employees, etc.... I need to be reachable, even when I'm out riding. And I'm an IBA member, so it's not unusual for me to ride 1000 mile days. I've got a full face helmet that's nice and quiet, most people have no idea I'm speaking to them going down the highway on my bike.

It's not just about the phone, the smart phones now have the GPS in them, if you use Bluetooth you don't even have to look at the screen, it will just tell you where to go. It's a lot safer. You can even use the Pandora App instead of the radio.

I was talking to him while the wife was in the can and I said "Way to go genius, now I have to listen to her when we ride!"
