your phone isn't in your pocket at the end of a ride!  Oh well.

Damn that sucks!  I lost a brand new can of Skoal last year and that about sent me off the edge.  But a phone?!  I would be mad.

A buddy of mine lost a pack of smokes and earlier I had offered to put them in my box but he refused. A cell phone on the otherhand, I'd be back tracking depending on how long the trip was. How far did you go?

That sucks, sorry to hear it.  I came close to losing my phone once...I had forgotten to zip my chest pocket shut and it fell into my lap.  I caught it just before it slid off.

And to continue the theme from the thread title...you know you're getting better at cornering when you confuse Hayabusa riders mid corner:

EDIT:
oh I forgot: you know you're getting better at cornering when you don't have to remind yourself to look away from the curb.

You know you're getting better at cornering when you can comfortably lean on both sides (when your lean preference is diminished to 99% Gone But Not Noticeable For Normal Riding).
