Pull over and use the phone. There's enough reasons to be sharp and focused on a bke. Why add a distraction? My phone is in the tourpak. It stays there for the duration.

Does anyone know how I can talk on my cell phone while rideing my 2010 UC? If i could do that I could use my motorcycle for work. I have the headsets and I have an iPhone.
I did this thread last month.

I'm still waiting to see what iMC Moto comes up with. I'm still not high on splicing wires on my 2010 to install the hdbomm one yet.

Love to hang up and ride, but unfortunately on call 24/7 when not booked off.
On new Ultra, I use my Zumo 550, along with a J&M integration module setup. My GPS now talks through my HK radio and HD headphones, my phone also rings into my headset, so I can answer hands free and pull over as necessary.
Cardo is great, had it on last bike, but does not work in conjunction with a HD headset in your helmet.
Call J&M, they will tell you what you ned to purchase.

Some of us can only afford the Harley lifestyle because of our phones.

I would not, could not, on a bike.
I do not like phones on a bike, Sam-I-am.

If some of you out there have hearing that is good enough to hear a cel phone ring at 60-70 mph and be able to pull over safely in time for it not to go to voice messaging, then you do not need to do anything.
I can't hear mine when in my pocket and riding. If I did not answer, I would not have a job. If I stayed off the bike to answer, I would never ride.
I hate phones, I don't use them anymore than absolutely necessary. I don't make phone calls while riding, I just answer, then do what is necessary regarding the call. Not all phone calls are for stupid reasons. I cannot afford to wait and check messages when I stop for a break. By then it is too late. The system is totally hands free, so no worse than your wife or g/f talking and socializing with her buddies while taking the kids to softball practice in the family cage.
