Been doing that since day one.The wife hates seeing me do this stuff.Once following me in a vehicle layed down with feet out over bars on the Harley,she went ballistic on me.One thing I always liked doing was locking the throttle and riding on the passenger seat and seeing peoples expressions.

I've seen that video a couple of times. That guy has to be the king of no-hand riding.

I'll go no hands if it's a highway and not much traffic around. It does provide a nice break for the hands.
Dog155, the next time you do that, act like you're wrapping your arms around the invisible rider when you pass someone. lol

think indian larry, i`ll do it for a minute on long straight roads just to relax hand otherwise again think indian larry, i can think of alot better ways to raise money for charity, we will be all rideing for money to fix his skull
I have done it, but not recently for any distance, back in the 90s I rode to Albuquerque NM and rode several stretches without using my hands, BUT in todays traffic, you would be killed by some texting, talking, drunk driver.

I have a friend that rides an old 1940 Indian. On cold days on the highway I've seen him lock the throttle, lean forward and put one hand down on each cylinder to keep his hands warm. He can ride like this for miles......... also on one of the motorcycle mania movies (can't remember which one) Jesse has both hands in his lap for quite a ways on the freeway. Doesn't seem like a particularly smart thing to do but not all that challenging either.
