No helmet, and texting while riding? How is that even possible. No gloves then either.

they make touchscreen moto gloves, if he wasn't wearing a helmet he probably wasn't wearing those either though

You know...I was thinking about this...thing is, this probably wasn't the first time this guy texted while riding. I wonder how many times he actually got away with it.

Regardless, I'm shocked and appalled that a sane human being (as sane as we are as riders to begin with) could be this ridiculously foolish and idiotic.

Never assume that wisdom must always come with age. When you start to discover how many greybeards believe the ABATE party line that "you are safer without a helmet than you are with a helmet" stupidity, then discovering that someone thought texting while riding is OK, then nothing else is going to be all that surprising.
