Are you left-handed, right-handed, or neither?

[metallyguitarded_imp]

On longer rides (straight line ONLY!), I like to rest my right hand and arm and control the throttle/steer with my left hand. Of course I can only do this at speeds above 40mph or so.
Several years ago, my g/f and I drove from Memphis to St Louis to buy an 83 CB1100F. On the way back my right arm got so tired that I rested it by controlling the bike with my left hand for a couple miles. God forbid I had to grab a handful of front brake! YIKES!!!
Anyone else ever done this?

I saw Charlie Boorman doing this on one of the episodes of Long Way Round or Long Way Down (don't remember which). He had injured his right hand during the Dakar Rally and it would start to hurt him after some time on the bike. He did exactly as you described with his left hand. I hope I'm never that tired and unable to stop that I have to do it myself! I saw some inexpensive throttle devices at the Long Beach motorcycle show that act as a sort of cruise control, allowing you to completely remove your right hand from the bars and maintain speed. I'd get one of those before any long trip where I expect long stretches of freeway.

I'm right handed but do odd things like sweeping and chopping wood left handed. I've no idea why.

Cormanus, you certainly are a Renaissance man. You cover quite the spectrum with that statement.

I'm a lefty..

And I bet you float with the best of them. Third nipple, by chance? I'm getting a large stake and some kindling ready, just in case...

I knew a guy who crashed and injured his left hand, his left elbow, his left hip, his left knee, and his left foot.

He's all right now.

Haha! Nicely done.
