wow... he customized it to make sure he had to look down for incoming calls...

i don't know about the rest of you guys, but when i'm on the bike, a phone call is NOT important

i'd leave it at home if it wasn't 'tool' in my bag

Yeah the only semi usful function the iPhone has while riding that would require me to look at it is the GPS, and since it doesn't orient itself to the direction your driving or offer turn by turn directions mine will stay in the tail bag.

Yeah I don't want any more distractions than what a normal ride has to offer. Thats why I have yet to mount my GPS or Sirius unit to my bike.

Wow! People are in accedents every day because of texting and driving. I would hate to see fatality trends if it became a thing on motorcycles also. I always turn my ringer off when I ride. I don't want the phone bugging me.

I love riding because I have a great reason to forget about everything including incoming calls.

drgibson, I don't know what GPS you have, but mine gives me turn by turn instructions. Or, did I misunderstand your post? My Zumo sits right in front of me, and I don't have a headset attached. I don't find it distracting at all.

Great tool. I hope he comes out with a holder for my DVD player. (sarcasm)

Wonder how easy it will be to sell a/c for a bike

an invention that's not only useless, but makes matters worse, excellent.

I wonder if this guy made this gizmo because he couldn't read a paper on the way to work.
