I was focusing on the road and then looked done to see that my phone wasn't there! I did a U-turn and was able to find it quick. It works but the screen is shattered. It is a cheap $100 Moto G play so it didn't hurt too bad. I was paranoid about using this mount and was considering using a navigation device instead.

I did a quick superficial search but some of these phones are more expensive than the phone I want to get! I could use my new phone but I don't want the same thing to happen again.

I also used the little grip that comes with the mount but I guess I didn't secure it well with my gloves on.

I want to get advice before I commit to a trip on the highway. I plan to ride on the highway and just take the first exit and loop back around to test the waters and get a feel for my bike.

This highway is one of those loops that most major cities have that go around the outer parameters of the city so traffic isn't as heavy as I-40. Even around 3-7pm in the weekdays where you have the 1st/2nd shift transition. There is an exception in certain sections but I typically don't venture out to that part of the city much and when I do, I'm just there for like 2 minutes.

I have a 2025 Honda CB300R. I've had it for a week and have 111 miles on it so far. I've practiced mostly on back roads with low traffic and did a little night riding for a little over an hour and feel fairly confident with it but also don't want to get cocky.

I eventually want to take it to work but avoiding the highway will add 6-9 minutes to my commute (23 minutes highway on my car while speeding. I will not be speeding in my motorcycle anytime soon btw.) and I will have to deal with heavier traffic.

What do y'all think? Shall I avoid the highway or do y'all think I'll be ok with my 300? I've heard mixed statements. Some say it's underpowered and others say it's ok. I've only hit up to 60 mph and I could handle it pretty well.
