man, ive been getting hammered with work lately. i work for a New England company but from my house in Virginia. anyway its been an insane month, so today at noon i figured id take a long lunch to pick up some air filters for my leaf blower that had been back ordered. the hardware store is about 30 miles from here and i took all back roads. to make a long story short, i pulled into my driveway at 4:30 with 165 new miles on my odo!
long lunch indeed! and yes, the mother ship had tried to contact me 3x while i was gone, too bad.

Sounds like abit of R & R ......just what the doctor ordered

If you lived in the UK having your Cell phone switched on when you are on the bike is not a good idea

A group of riders were convicted of speeding using data from their phones to time from place to place......they were sent to prison.....I always switch mine off

Yes no joking

Group of mates out for a fast ride....one has a fatal accident police take statements and confiscate phones use the data from phone company to work out average speeds and charge riders and some of them went to prison

Cannot remember names...someone will be along in a minute who does....

So I always switch off.....

Shit I didn't hear this one I am normally listening to banging tunes when out for a blast. Best put my phone into Airplane mode from now on I guess. Although I would imagine its the fatality that's lead them to take such action as seizing their phones.

I stopped using the Pirelli app because it was sending incriminating evidence to my email for my wife to see
