  Ah, understood. No problems here on that one. I try to be very conscious of bikers when
I'm driving. I know quite a few people who ride, and I understand how intimidating a "huge
hunk o'metal" sitting three inches off your rear tire could be. If it's any consolation, we
deliberately had them locate one for us with a cloth interior, and still haven't joined the
yuppie crowd in their whole cell phone craze. Maybe when they start giving away the free
phones and ONLY charging you for the time you use and NOTHING else,...... maybe. Been
hearing about some areas that pass laws to make it illegal to drive while talking on your
cell phone. I think this might be a really good idea, but admittedly, I've never heard any
statistics correlating phone use and accidents.
