Calls on the bike is one thing I have yet to take. I did call Drewpy once and could hear the pig oinking away and figured out he was doing it!

Shit I don't even carry my cell phone anymore. I leave it at home most times unless I'm riding. Ya never know when you need to dial for the life flight if your off a cliff. And if you can't get to it due to loss of consious state then fuck it! Sweet Silence is on its way!

Seriously i'm on the phone all day at work and riding my time and not for calls, But music, Hell ya! If you have never rocked Metalica's Seek and Destroy while blasting down the road, you stand to gain something by doing so.

Thanks NtS, you outted me!

As matter of fact, I do ride with music. I HAVE to have it when I am street riding as my ADD will distract me. You know, riding along, oh look, a squirrel!! DAMN, TREE!!!

Ok, so i'm not that bad, and I know when it gets bad and I take measures, I dont endanger those around me, but its always better for me to have music to distract those random thoughts, it helps me focus on the road. But i dont answer or play with my phone when I ride. And when i ride the track I never have music...its all personal preference, and Metallica is DEF a good choice, as well as Ozzy, Shinedown, Disturbed...etc...

I'd throw a Smokey and the Bandit paint scheme on that.

I used the MP3 for riding to work in bumper to bumper or long rides. Never in the mountains or close to Atlanta it's self. However I killed my MP3 mountain biking and now I have nothing.

I disabled Texting from my phone so that device wouldn't do me any good. I lost a ton of friends doing that too. It was awesome!!!

A GPS mount or regular MP3 player mount wouldn't be bad... If he's making them himself, dude could be on to some money.

That being said, I saw a guy riding down the road, talking on his cell phone the other day. Gixxer... go figure.

I have a ram mount for my GPS... they have one for older iPods... but I'll just stick that in my tank bag...

when I'm riding I just stick to my "riding" playlist... don't change songs... just let the playlist play on random and loop all.

pretty cool idea for a GPS though... which if I remember right the iPhone has...

as for text and phone use... pull your ass over if you need to text/talk that bad
