Heh, heh ... I am surprised no one has developed a wireless handlebar-mounted "clicker" to step through the numeric-alphabet and tap up letter-by-letter a text message.
I suppose today it would be something rather like this using a BT-connected ear/mic piece, "Okay Google, text Cormanus ... ".

Why bother when you can get gloves with touch sensitive finger tips that can drive a smart phone? Look out soccer mums, I say!
The best I was able to do is swipe the screen left and right.

Heck Cormanus, I was at Cycle Gear the other day and they had sticker things you put on regular gloves to make them work touch screens.
RE: Different distraction - Houtman_imp - 09-24-2019
I have never send a text and never will ! Call me or send an email .
RE: Different distraction - Lord Popgun - 09-24-2019
Houtman, I’ll call you. Text me your phone #
RE: Different distraction - peterbaron - 09-24-2019
How you know, he has cell?, maybe dial phone with a 50 mile extension cord
RE: Different distraction - Lord Popgun - 09-24-2019
Yeah, that’s probably what it is
and makes the most sense 
RE: Different distraction - GoldOxide_imp - 09-24-2019
"dial phone"? Gee, these days I only see those on Netflix flicks.

RE: Different distraction - GoldOxide_imp - 09-24-2019
Beautiful, really though.

All you guys are making fun of an old man ! My wife and I both have flip phones but she will get a smart phone soon. We also have two laptops and a land line as well. You can also PM on the Forum.
I rather have people laugh at me than cry over me !
My "hero" Warren Buffet still uses a flip phone .
If any of you will buy me a smart phone than I will be ever so grateful.
