Well if the sound quality on the blue tooth leaves much to be desired, then I probably wouldn't get the use I think I would. I believe I have some hearing loss in my left ear which I use when on the phone and I thought it would help with that, but guess not after what you said so think I will pass on that. My husband has a Harley Hog and the last time he took it out of the garage to go for a spin, he went out I-10 West and hadn't gone far when he said he was passed by six SUV's going ninety miles an hour and the drivers were all females talking on their cell phones and he decided to get off on the next feeder and take another road back home to keep from making me a widow. He put his bike in the garage and hasn't ridden it since, in fact he told me he was going to sell it soon as he was way to old to be killed for just fun riding. I have only ridden on it twice and the last time I rode with him my knees ached for a week after and those days I decided are certainly over for me. I was ever mindful of the exhaust pipe as those darn things can cause third degree burns on your legs and pain is not on my agenda either. I hold him around the waist so tight, I always told him if he was ever thrown off while I was riding with him, I would be like an extra appendage to him and he could be my cushion to fall on. lol All the motorcyclist ride here on Thursday nights and one of those times I rode we went with three other couple bikers down to an old bike shop that has been turned into a bar and meeting place for all the bikers here. First off we were the only ones wearing helmets in the whole place and probably the oldest ones there and kinda felt out of place with the younguns. Outside there were about 1500 bikes parked around the lot with people lingering and showing off their bikes. A mixture of all kinds of people with some in fancy leather outfits and others in ragged blue jeans and hippy looking jackets, even some motorcycle gang members there. Biking is just not my cup of tea and I know I would probably love riding in the beautiful country side, but my instincts tell me if anyone got hurt it would probably be me. I like my skin just the way it is and there is not enough meat on my bones to slide down a highway and have it all skinned off. Oh that is such a ugly thought but keeps me safe from ever bike riding on a highway again....lol And coming home the eight of us on bikes set off every car alarm on the street and I'm sure the owners did not appreciate that one bit. It surely made a lot of noise for us too.

It's not just the 17 year old bimbo's on the phone. We can drive from here to a coffee concern and count more on cell then not. And the people on the cell who are walking or running are hilarious to watch. There's literally no place to just be quiet. You are always 'attached' to your umbilical cord. The ones I cannot abide are the ones who come into the coffee houses, sit down, open up their computer, pick up their cell and begin to sell at the top of their voices. They have no idea our irritating they are. OK... aired pet peeve - putting him back on a leash.
