So although I haven't seen anyone doing in on Ducs, in the past 2 weeks, I've seen 3 different people talking on the phone WHILE riding.  Guys, please tell anyone you know that this is a BAD idea.  Can't believe anyone would actually attempt this.

That is just stupid. 

Wouldn't work for me anyway.  My bike is too loud to hear anyone and I can't even walk and text, much less try to ride and do it.

How the frack does that even work?  Is this in no-helmet-law states?  The wind noise alone should prevent someone from doing this!  Well, that and the crashing and dying thing...

My bike is the one place I refuse to be hooked to my phone. It is my place to get away from the rest of the world!

i agree the bike is one thing i don't want to be bothered by talking to someone while riding, i have too muich to be aware with the motorcycle itself.

funny thing is that i have tried using bluetooth while riding on a bicycle.  inevitibley the person on the other end hangs up as they no longer want to hear me breathing hard whle riding.  hey i'm riding up a hill i'm going to breathe heavily. lol

I keep mine on vibrate in my front pocket. If I feel like it I'll pull over and see who it is, but when I'm riding I don't want to be bothered so.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I passed a cop once while I was riding helmetless, on the phone, with my dog balanced on the gas tank.

He gave me a funny look.   laughingdp

I'd have to deal w, a Bandanna, which holds all my hair under my Helmet and a Helmet Liner on top of that so my Helmet fits so tight that I don't take it off until I'm done w, my ride.

I've got a water bottle w, a bite valve that I keep in my Hip pack and I can actually get it in between my breath guard if I pull down on the front of my Helmet as much as I can w, it on at a stop for a stretch and a quick drink.

No way any talking on the phone while riding.

I'd have to be stopped and take my Helmet off but most places I ride there's very little cell reception.

People never cease to amaze me .

I actually saw someone texting while riding.  Scared the crap out of me.
