I discovered I don't have the mental bandwidth to hold a conversation and ride a motorcycle at the same time. A quick confirmation of plans is fine, but anything requiring a thoughtful response either makes riding more dangerous, or results in a suboptimal conversation, and usually a combination of both.
That's what I don't get about cell phone laws. It's not the attention to the phone that is dangerous, it's the conversation itself. I can dial a number without taking my eyes from the road, but it's the distraction away from the task of driving that reduces my ability to drive. For that matter, a screaming child should certainly be illegal in a vehicle. I can't think of much more distracting than nonstop blood curdling screams. I was thinking the best vehicle for a parent would be a limo with privacy glass.
