I flipped open the cubby,grabbed the MP3 and proceeded to start to scroll through the song list.
All of a sudden reality snapped back in my brain and I thought,"Doug,what the Hell is wrong with you?"
"Are you trying to kill yourself?"
I just dropped the MP3 back in the cubby.
I then pulled over,shut off the MP3,closed the cubby lid and sat there for a minute thinking how stupid I was putting my life in danger.
My point is that whether it is texting,adjusting the MP3,scrolling the directions on a GPS or whatever, anything other than giving 100% attention to riding a motorcycle may some day cost us our lives.
Lesson learned and luckily I didn't crash from not paying attention.
