Ive done it a time or 3, never done it around traffic though. On a backroad though ill just pop it in neutral, slip off a glove quick and get it done. Or as mentioned earlier while stopped at a light.

Never. Totally not worth the consequences. One F-Up is all it takes, and that could happen in a nanosecond. Nobody is that important that they can't wait until my next stop.

Yeah, no. I see tards doing this all the time, and they somehow never seem to have any riding gear on, whatsoever. I wonder if there's a mental connection somewhere. . . . . .

Enough said.

Not smart... Why add unnecessary danger to something that is already dangerous?

Phone or text while riding? Nope. This is my time. The whole world can wait.

I have no chance, and it's not worth it either.

Thumbs down

Flame me if ya like but that's the most moronic thing to do on a motorcycle in motion. Driving a car is serious business. Riding a bike even more so. If you don't want to give your time on the road your FULL attention, stay home. I have had too many close calls with jackasses in their 5000lb phone booths. Riders are supposed to be a notch or two better than cagers...so !

People wonder why sport bike riders always get a bad rap.... texting while riding, its god damn bad enough when people in CARS do it, never mind a bike. if thats important, like Aken said, pull the hell over.

i can't text while driving without swerving all over the road (with both hands!), i have no idea how you can even accomplish a simple "no" without parking it in a ditch...
