Riding and Txting

[SPman]

Ive done it...trying to find Blackyoshi & co on the Opo run a while ago - tank bag comes in handy sometimes..
And I kept the speed down to 70 or so whilst doing so........

how do u text with gloves on?

take off your left glove while both hands are off the handlebars, put your right hand on the handlebars, and then sit on the left glove. Then fish your phone out of your pocket, and proceed to text

While me and motogirl were out having her birthday dinner we saw a sight never thought I would see.

Someone riding there motorbike and txting at the same time.

They went straight thru a roundabout around a corner over train tracks, all 1 hand while holding phone infront of them in other hand

My wife does the texting on pillion, when we slow down to go through a town. She has her phone on a strap around her neck.

Another advantage of a cruiser, she can lean back and relax.

well this thread has been dug up from the grave yard, not that Im complaining.
Texting while riding a motorcycle would be a deadly choice sooner or later, more likely sooner. Would have a similar consequences to say, texting while riding the wife, life threatening

Surprisingly no... I've never riden my bike in a "drunken" stage... the two times I have txtd while riding have both been on River Rd in Hamilton (the boring section that goes from Wairerie Drive all the way down to Bridge street), and both times, I was keeping to the speed limit (yes, 50 km/h the whole way), paying attention to vehicles and people around me. I'm not one of these people that needs to look at their phone to make sure their txt language is correct... I use predictive text and punctuation... I learnt like that, and yeah. If someone is going to ride and text in a responsible manner, I don't see a problem with it.

With everything, responsible use is the key factor. A person talking on their phone could cause an accident by paying too much attention to their phonecall, yet our Police, who do the best they can do (and they honestly do have my respect), know how to use their walky-talky phone intercom systems even during high-speed chases without incident (that I've heard of anyway).

[Insanity_rules]

Ah thats nothing, I can ride, listen to my ipod, chew gum, and crash all at the same time!

As a cager I find this absolutely outrageous!
You bike riders are already out to embed yourselves in my shiny car, as if you need further distraction!!

Thanks dude, that method worked for me perfectly on Saturday.

Testing and riding that sounds like a recipe for suicide to me. All good if you do it when you have stopped but come on your going to come off one day. Only time I text is when I am in my big cage and only at slower speeds

next person i see txting while riding, i WILL pull in front of you and brake. quickly. my insurance will cover it. and whose gonna believe 'BUT HE FUCKIN DID IT ON PURPOSE!'

DON'T TXT AND RIDE. i will kick you off you bike. believe me..i can do that. i swear at and abuse the living shite out of cagers on their phones, as well as fuckwits who swerve in and out of traffic, people who don't indicate, and cunts who pass me on their motards with no mufflers at 100kmh in a 50km zone when i'm about to turn right.

the gene pool doesn't have enough room for you.
