Thumbs down Just when you thought it couldn't get worse

With motorcycle deaths being at an all time high, you would think some riders would try to be safe by doing little things like wearing proper gear and just practicing safer riding. I was traveling thru Suffolk yesterday and saw a rider on an black GSXR (not sure what year), I was already shaking my head to him because he wasn't properly geared up, but when I decided to go around him, nothing could've prepared me to what I was about to see next. He was texting and riding at the same time.
