From Sam Kanish of IWBlogger I recently came across a couple examples of why I didn’t and still haven’t fully embraced the high tech instant communication era that we now live in. First of all a couple nights ago at our regularly scheduled dinner ride a guy showed up with one of those blue tooth (?) things that looks like a big cockroach stuck in his ear. Since he’s retired, not a doctor or drug dealer, isn’t married and doesn’t have a girlfriend I wondered aloud what could be so important that he needed to be able to field a phone call while he was riding his bike. Maybe his dog had a phone and was calling to bring home more Milk Bones. Call me old fashioned, or just plain old but what’s the point? I mean I cut my motorcycling teeth during Harley’s “Great American Freedom Machine” era. Back then people rode motorcycles to get away from work, problems at home or with that significant other. A bike was a sanctuary, your own private little space and no one could invade it, that‘s part of what the Freedom meant. Take a ride and clear your head. Then the very next day I was in a shop watching as the service manager and sales manager were trying to program the ‘Infotainment’ center on a 2014 Street Glide. They were having a little problem doing it. It seems someone in or near the shop had left his Smartphone on (don’t look at me, there’s no use of a dummy carrying a Smartphone) and every time someone called his phone it was ringing in on the new Street Glide.
