LG AX490

Ended up getting this phone with Alltel's prepaid U by-the-minute plan. I really like the FasTap keypad that makes text messaging a lot faster and easier. Didn't really care for the default, NASCAR-inspired display and sounds and had to change those right away. Since it's a tri-mode phone it will pick up analog signals when digital isn't available--a real plus when you're out in the boonies.

Cellular phones were huge (and by "huge" I mean too big to carry) when I was riding in the 80's and early 90's. I wouldn't ride without one these days. I've been carrying a pre-paid Virgin Mobile phone, but the Sprint all-digital network it uses doesn't always get a signal around these parts. My wife and son have switched over to Alltel and are getting good reception off their tri-mode phones, so I'm planning on switching too at the end of the month. Think I'll probably get one of these like my wife's.

Memories...

The paint scheme on this bike reminds me of my old Sporty--it was Bright Cobalt Candy Blue and Brilliant Silver two-tone with red pinstripes. IMHO the most beautiful motorcycle in town! It would have broke my heart if I'd ever laid it down or otherwise got a scratch on it and fortunately I never did. My next bike needs to be something I'll ride more than polish...
