Are you ready for this one

[F-106]

I have been riding fro 30 years. I have seen alot things during that time. But what I saw yesterday I am still overwhelmed over. I was riding south to a nearby town chasing parts for work. I was riding around 70mph down the freeway. I came up along a slower rider in the #2 lane. I saw him keep looking down to the left side of the bike. This went on for a mile or two. He started to slow so I thought he had a problem. I decided to go around him, as I was passing him I saw he was texting while riding . What in the hell is so important forks need to do this while riding a motorcycle. Now I know why my insurance rate are so high.

I've gotta give that guy extra credit for comfort while texting and riding.  :-[ :-[ :-[ :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

A texter driving is what led me to desire ABS and a more controllable bike.

A live in a College town where texting while walking out in front of traffic is the new fad.

Unfreakin believable. I think phone addiction is a real problem with a lot of people these days. It's really funny we go out to dinner and see younger couples sitting at their tables staring at ther phones and not even talking to each other! Nuts
