I have been riding on 2 wheels for most of my long life. I use an Autocomm system to hear my GPS - Music - and to talk on the phone. I NEVER make outgoing calls while riding, and when a call comes in, I answer, make sure it’s not an emergency, and let them know I'll call back when stopped. Its no different that people in cars talking on the phone. Well actually it is different - On a motorcycle you are already much more attentive to what’s going on around you. I have never heard of anyone on a bike falling asleep, but it happens all the time in cars. They may just be too comfortable.
