Don't get me wrong. I try to "never leave home without it", either.  It's 
one of my "Big 3" (the tools I ALWAYS have with me) Cell phone, credit card, 
and AAA.
My comment was directed at TALKING on a cell WHILE riding.  Not only suspect 
from a safety standpoint, IMHO, but a needless distraction.  Me, I get 
precious little time to ride, yet have countless hours sitting around doing 
(mostly) nothing at work and at home.  (Like right now,  I'm on VACATION, 
fer crissake.  And what am I doing?  Sitting in a hotel room talking you 
y'all.  If I ONLY HAD A BIKE!)
Turn it off and put it in your tank bag.  The world won't stop spinning, I 
promise.

ps, in an interesting aside.  I'm in Miami Beach (work related, hence no 
bike.  Not that there is a road in So. FL WORTH riding!) :-) and three times 
I've seen someone riding (two scooters, one Kawi 600) through traffic while 
talking on a cell phone.  No ear buds, no Starcomm, just one handed-phone to 
ear down the road!  In a curiously Ironic twist of fate, I sat in my 
(rental. I ASKED for a Mustang convertable) SUV, waiting for disaster to 
strike.
Well, the sun;s out now.  To the beach.
