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.
I (try) to always text the family when I hit the road. That way, if I don't show up in an hour or so, they know to start calling hospitals or morgues . . .
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 have a huge clown stick just for special people like that , I have before and will again say some very rude **** to somebody on a bike being that stupid in public .
