All vehicles should be equipped with a device that disables cell phones/blackberries, whatever when the engine is running. Texting while riding? Why don't you just quietly commit suicide in private?

WTF? Really texting while ridin? That is stupid. I can't even figure out how I would go about doing that.

1. Remove glove
2. pull phone out of tank bag
3. open phone
4. hit reply
5. .... Oh **** I just rear ended some guy cause I am a douche now I am bleeding all over
6. hit the kill switch
7. crawl to my phone that is 50ft in the ditch
8. type ttyl I just crashed my bike cause I'm a douche

I find it hard to believe that anyone would try to text while riding a bike. Texting while driving a car is stupid, texting while riding is insane.

If it is information you seek then it is information you will find ... I posted a poll so you can get your numbers.

Be very careful though. CBRF is notorious for advocating safe riding behaviors. None of us is perfect and does everything by the book, but the glorifying of bad riding behavior (eg. running from cops, riding without gear, TEXTING?!?) is frowned on here.
