Yet another idiot on a bagger.
Yesterday three of us rode to a local bike rally for the afternoon. Not what I expected but it was ok. Good band and some very cool old bikes.
Anyhow, on our way out, we were riding down Main St cruising along at about 40 mph. In front of me was this dude on a bagger and I noticed his left hand to the side of his helmet. At first I thought he was adjusting his strap but as I pulled by him on his left I saw he was talking on his cell phone. I wanted to kick te idiot off his bike. As I rode by I looked at him and shook my head. I think he knew why.
This is the 2nd time this year I saw someone riding a bagger while talking on their cell phone. What is it with you bagger guys anyway? You got your stereos, cup holders, nav systems and lord knows what else. So what's next, a small screen TV so you can watch Oprah on your way back from work? Maybe a little laptop station so you can check your emails? LOL
Ok I'm just Fk'in with you guys. I have nothing against baggers or anyone who rides them. I do however want to know if there is anyone on here that talks on their cell phone while riding....baggers or not. Anyone?

I agree. I was thinking that if I've seen 2 doing that just a few months apart in the same area, there must be many others who talk on cells and ride. I don't think many would admit it though.

My wife always asks why I did'nt answer my phone while I was riding home. I have yet to see a rider on a cell phone, but it sounds like there are a few out there.

I don't even listen to an ipod while I'm riding. Some friends of mine do but I just never could get used to it. We didn't have ipods when I started riding. Hell, I don't think we had walkmans either. LOL
