You throw your phone? Me thinks you need anger management. Besides On Star is in the vehicle, not on a phone

True about full face helmet, since I only have half helmets I want thinking about that.
And as far as amputation on scene: so you never heard of it, well I did and witnessed it.

I wasn't saying it didn't happen, just saying I never heard of it.

Sounds like a plot for a great movie (m/c crash & amnesia)...think it already made the big screen in another form.

Needless to say - you're thinking to deep into this deal - just relax & ride. If, God forbid, something would happen the responders can handle the situation. I'd be more worried about them treating me vs. locating phone, contacts, etc...

pretty cheap and there's coupons all over the place.

Thanks for this idea. I'm actually going to get one. It's cheap for what it will do for you. Passing it on to riding buddies too. We all ride alone once in awhile.

I keep my phone in my pocket and my phone doesn't have a passcode. Figure that is as good as a card in my wallet or saddlebag. I guess my feeling is I could crash my car and be in the same situation so I don't fret bout it.

Hummm yeah me too....I mostly ride by myself and usually decide at the drop of a hat when, where or if I feel like a ride. You got me thinking now, maybe I better put an emergency contact card with my license...thanks for the thought.
