cell on a bike
« on: August 27, 2010, 03:31:07 PM »
Just driving home and saw a guy on a harley-looking bike with his wife/girlfriend on the back, beanie helmet and kevlar tshirt both, talking on his cell phone.  Not headset or anything, just the regular flip-up kind.  Stuck it between his ear and shoulder when he needed to use the clutch.  It was in stop and go traffic but I don't know if that makes it better or worse.

 Once he gets cut of by another driver on their cell, maybe he'll have some sense knocked into his head. Sheeesh!

I wonder why the chick wasn't holding it to the dudes face.  What are passengers for, anyways?

Passengers only have to look pretty,
not be useful.

I saw the same thing here a couple weeks ago. Another Harley driver trying to dial with his left hand while driving down a busy street...

Not a cell story but right after I left home this past week I pull up behind a guy with Washington tags, no helmet, cool plastered hair that didn't move, and smoking a cigarette. Not the unusual part but he was riding between lights every other street. He'd switch hands or put the smoke in his mouth after taking a quick hit at the red. Now this is what I thought unusual - why the hell did he need to flick the ashes of a lit cigarette while riding a bike 40mph?! Seriously.
