Riding one handed
So - once in a while I'll see a rider going down the road with just one hand on the handle bars.
Just wondering - anyone here do that and why? I have to say my first thoughts are - rookie poseur but maybe I'm wrong . . .

Yes - it was all in fun . . . Sorry if my dry English humor is not to your taste. Seems like there's enough "poser" posts here I figured I'd give it a go.
For those who failed to find this remotely funny here's something just for you.

i do it alot at times on long runs its relaxing actually and lets u stretch out. And if iam on a long stretch of highway youll see me leaned back agianst the Tbag one hand laying on throttle rest the other just laying off to the side riding into the sunset lol.
Got to change it up now and then
Iam sure the cars behind me and beside me were shaking there heads as i was riding one handed using my left hand to get my bottle of water out of my tbag and taking a drink at 80 mph on the interstate on the way to and from nashville.
Didn't you ever ride your bicycle with no hands or one hand no different on a motorcycle except you got MORE POWER to keep that bike going straight.

This seriously smells like a Mommy thread...............I do it all the time, I put on allot of miles my arms get tired. Poser? That is the problem, to many that have taken up the brand are so busy checking everyone else out they want to know if something is ok for them, or tell someone else its not. Ride your ride, and let other ride theirs.......
I did ride with one two other times...once to scratch my crotch, and the other a one finger salute for driving like an idiot.

Switch from one to the other with the cruise set! Makes riding long distance a lot more comfortable. Don't you drive one handed in your cage?
