My phone stays in the trunk while riding. I don't need any distractions while I'm riding. I don't want to die.
I really wish cell phones were never invented. JMHO

Like Gary no phone on my bar's. Lived to long now to die stupid I personally will not there's plenty of things to do. The added distraction of a phone in use is like driving drunk no thank you. Travel safe Fred
No phone mount. Phone stays in jacket pocket while riding.
No mount. Thats what "bluetooth" is for. Stays in the trunk.
Kuryakin mounts to the mirror mount.
Thats my GPS , and music source. Every thing else can wait.

My Cell stays in my pants pocket.......If for some reason i'm separated from my Trike, The phone is still with me...Besides no one ever wants to or even has the need to call me while i'm riding since i retired from the presidency and then passed the Nuclear codes on to someone else..

As others have said, it is in the tour pak, only bring it out when stopped to check it.

I Agree, My Stays In Tour-Pak. It's Checked When I Stop. Too Many People Are Driving While Talking On Their Phone.

I have mine mounted using Leader Motorcycle products and the brake/clutch mount. I use the large X-grip to hold my iphone 11. Very sturdy. They are of extremely high quality. I had one on my 2009 Ultra Classic and now on my 2019 TriGlide. Really love how well it works.

My phone stays in my vest pocket and is turned off. Nothing is that important it cannot wait until I stop to check for messages

RAM X-Grip
I have a RAM X-Grip on mine. I'll need another four years before I can turn my phone off. I need to be reached 24/7 unfortunately and it sucks. But that's the job that enables me to have my trike so there's always tradeoffs in this world. Anyway, I use mine for music and GPS.

Paul, welcome to TT!
I turn my phone off and put it in the trunk. It's just with me if I have to make an emergency call. Otherwise, it doesn't get turned back on until I get done riding for the day...... Jim

I use the Ciro holder. It is rock solid and easy to open. They also sell a cup holder that attaches to the stem.
Before I get flamed - The phone is on my bars to monitor engine temp, AFR and other things from my FP3.

Since I use Google Maps for navigation, I use the Ciro mount. Never had a problem:

the purpose of my phone is to stream Pandora through my bike. I have no intentions of using it as a phone while driving, but do like a wide variety of music that I can choose on my smart phone.

My problem with putting in trunk with Bluetooth on is if you get a call it kicks off your music and you have to click back on music.

I understand however I know me and if it was there sooner or later I'm sure the temptation to make a
or answer a call well you know. If not there can't happen. I ride to get away from people anyway music is not really that important to myself or Jeanne the wind works just fine for us. Travel safe Fred
I don't even check my cell when we stop. I only have a cell for emergencies ONLY. It's kind of dumb paying $120/year for something you never use, but you never know and it gives me peace of mind. Once I stop riding I'll get rid of it.

It is just one of those things we pay for and don’t realize the importance till we need it.

believe me I want to escape people as well. My job keeps me connected 24 //7. Maybe retirement will change the phone responsibilities but I will still choose to be away from people!

Yes I was married to one of those Co. Phones for 5 year 24--7-365 most likely why I strongly dislike them. Only for my convenience. Fred
I've only used the phone to receive a couple very important calls I was expecting and did not want to wait around for. But I do like having Apple CarPlay on the new Boom Box GTS and it requires the phone to be plugged into the USB port via a lightning cable. Otherwise like others I'd have it stowed away. I use the Techmount phone mount. Great products and great customer support.

This is the exact reason I have my phone mounted too. Need to be able to plug into the USB port.

My Tour pack works perfect.
I came to the same conclusion as the overwhelming majority in this thread. I was looking for phone mounts and decided to just leave it in the fairing pocket and not mess with it. Its connected to my Sena so I can call if necessary but not receive as I keep the "Do Not Disturb While Driving" feature turned on all the time whether on 2 or 4 wheels.
My manager has also accepted the fact that when I am off, I am not readily available by phone. It helps that he rides too. If he or one of my guys has to call or text, they know I will respond within at most 2 hours (if they're lucky and dependent on the importance) and then continue on my way. That was part of the agreement when they offered and I accepted a supervisor position last year, when I'm off, I'm off unless it's an emergency.

I don't mean to impose myself and my feelings on anyone my background in transportation safety and the epidemic of distracted driving ie. Riding and my age personally I can't afford any more gadgets on the bars. My power vision displays gear selection, engine temperature and not sure what else. And I'm considering removing it now I know where I'm at with heat management each to what you need.:good: Travel safe Fred
I don't consider it an imposition. I have 5 years in a semi all over this country, before cellphones. I would never use mine driving a truck either. I don't even like the handsfree headsets.
Holding a cell or not holding a cell makes absolutely no difference. It's the concentration on the conversation that's the problem. Every single study has shown that.
I never understood the "hands free is safer" argument.......unless your other hand is holding a cup of scalding coffee.
