For a motorcycle, it may be fine since it has a suspension.

I've been using this RAM Mount holder for both my Samsung Captivate and Garmin 76CSX:. Also need this mount for the handlebar:. Solid and works well. I highly recommend.

I just bought a binto box for my phone. It has two pockets. I keep the phone in one, the earphones in the other. If I get a call I pull out the earphones and click the switch on the cord, never touch the phone. Straps to the top tube and head tube. There is room for a energy bar or too but I keep those in my seat bag.

Yes. I look at the map before I leave, and if I happen to get lost along the way, I pull over and stop, look at my phone, figure out where I need to be vs where I am, and then I go back on my merry way.
Frankly, this thing with the GPS drives me crazy. I've got a friend who occasionally takes me to the airport - it's 10 minutes away and he's been there probably 50 times. Still, every time I get in the damn car he's got the GPS destination set to the airport. Like you suddenly forgot how to pay attention to where you were going and wouldn't know to turn until the robot lady tells you too?
Any second you are even looking at the phone means you do not have your eye on the road, the car in front of your, your rearview mirrors, or anywhere else your paranoid head on a swivel is supposed to be pointed. In 4 wheel vehicles this is dangerous. On 2 wheels, it's careless.
