I dont, but the OL texts and takes pics while riding on the back. Hell, I cant text and walk much less while driving. As a matter of fact my avatar is from my buddies OL taking a pic while riding. They can do whatever they want back there so long as they hold on!

The law in Oklahoma says that it is illegal to do anything while driving that takes your attention away from your operating the vehicle. Had a friend ticketed in the lat 60's for eating a hamburger and drinking a malt while driving past a cop.

So you engage in a very dangerous activity (texting) while operating your motorcycle in order to let you family know you are riding the motorcycle just in case you crash due to texting while riding so they can meet you at the ER or morgue? WTF?

Why not just call them before you leave and tell them to head for the ER and then slam into the first car you come across. Much easier.

I'm not really a cellphone person. I have one and its greeting when someone calls is; "Help Me, I'm locked in the saddlebag and can't get out"!


For good reason.

Default Texting?

"Texting" + "Riding" or "Cycling" in the same sentence= OXYMORON!
