I really do hope you are kidding. It's bad enough they are trying to kill us, we don't need to be trying to kill ourselves.

But, in the event you are not kidding: Olympia gloves makes a pair of riding gloves that are specially made to allow texting while they are on. #73016

An I-Phone is a wireless device to be used to speak with people when you hold it over your eye.

Similar to an I-Pad, which is worn when you have a sore eye.

Now a Maxi-Pad is whole different thing that I won't go into right now.

some people, I swear ...

it's easy ... just get going like 20 mph over the limit. Then take both hands off the bars, remove gloves, back to the gas for a minute ... remove hands again, then text away.

Thanks for clearing that up guys. I guess I was just checking if the hive mind still had a collective sense of humor.

I haven't found the right ballast yet. I keep having to lean off the right side of the bike to keep it going in a straight line. Darn thing always wants to turn left.

I really hope it was a joke, not much of a sense of humor when safety is involved . . .

I can honestly tell you that I have to do the same. The tour bikes must all have this issue.

No, I'm not texting while riding, just practicing my balance ... and acrobatics ... lol

This got a good chuckle this morning:
