Narrative:

While talking to ATC (ground control), I was distraction by an occupant in the airplane and allowed the aircraft to cross over the hold short line without permission. The control tower then cleared me for takeoff with a r-hand turn out on course. Shortly afterwards, the controller told me to always ask before crossing the hold short line. After reaching my destination, I called the controller on the telephone and visited about the incident. I apologized to him and said it was not my intent to do that, but it happened. There was not any other air traffic using the runway at the time.
