This is an excellent analogy, one I've never thought of before. But spot on.

Instead, you're sitting on your butt but holding yourself with your knees and thighs, and standing in the stirrups when things get bumpy. It's why you don't see sport bikes with forward controls!
The wrist pressure you do want is when you push on the inside grip to lean the bike into a turn. Push left to lean left, push right to lean right. On a bike as light-steering as the CB, it doesn't take much. Thank the narrow tires for that.
