I'm curious, I was just reading the two grip buddies/puppies threads but didn't want to change the subject...so I thought I'd start a new one. (Although I have some numbness on my throttle hand they might cure)
Where do you place your hand on the grips when riding?
I seem to prefer keeping the outer portion of my hand (maybe my little finger width) on the stationary part of the grip as a reference that lets me more finely control my throttle position. Also it gives me more leverage and what I think is more control turning.
However, this seems to sometimes have my hand maybe a little too far away from some of the interior switches/controls (not really too far just not as close as possible…like reaching an extra row away on a keyboard when typing, like typing numbers are easier to miss than others)
So I wondered if anyone rides with their hands towards the most interior position possible without touching any of the stationary parts of the grip or towards the outer portion like I do?
