And I thought it was bad enough driving a car and texting...
Guy Lays Down To Text On Motorcycle Video

This guy is just plane retarded.

I have a problem using my left thumb for the shift key but then I remembered we have a constant mesh tranny where I don't need my left hand on the clutch and can shift to upper case and 5th gear at the same time with my left foot!
It just takes a little getting used to....:spank: :rof:

I have sent a text using my GPS bluetoothed to my phone while riding. Not something I do regularly, first time was just to see if I could and second time was on the Hwy running late and let someone know I was on my way. Its easier with the GPS but still quite dangerous, you just cannot safely divert that much attention away from the road.

Now there's an idea, since I use my GPS all the time on my bike... hmmm... maybe there is something to this texting while riding:spank::rolleyes:

Wow. In the video, you can see the bike accelerate but he doesnt have a hand on the throttle. Was he twisting the throttle with his foot?

Did you notice all the other drivers, weaving in and out of traffic, not seeming to understand what those white lines are for??? :eek:
I'm glad I don't live there!

While riding I talk and text on the cell phone all the time its simple just take off the helmet hold between legs on the tank:D In fact I occasionally stop at starbucks and pick up a Latte and continue doing all of the above :cheer:
I can also manage a friendly wave to a passing cager who looks stunned by my stunts every now and then and In fact I sometimes even have the time to to my make up if I am running late (what does one do with two mirrors) hmm wait that did not sound quite right lol. Lets strike out the make up part ok.:rockon::spank::ban:

Lmao ya'll I was just kidding :BLAA:

That video was funny as hell. I was shot in New Delhi India from what I got from the video. I do think it was staged I mean he actually did it but those were his buddies who took the video. Anyways that is India and wonders never cease. Infact I have seen up to 6 passengers riding on a 150cc two wheeled vespa type scooter, go figure lmao.
