gives me a more upright riding position and straightens out the back.

I assume this is why I do it, but then again, I'll usually alternate between hand on the left leg and leaning on the tank with my elbow...
 
For extra cool points, do it on the front straight at Calabogie while looking back for your slower riding mate. It's ace. I have to fight the chicks off with a stick.
 
I do it when riding behind someone going 100km/h in the fast lane on the highway. My plan is that they see that I'm a little annoyed and change lanes. It actually works sometimes.
 
On my OWN thigh? Next I'm buying myself dinner, a bottle of wine and making the moves later that night to self abuse. No thank you.
 
It is cool.... chicks dig it. Try stuffing a big ol banana down your leathers.... instant attention getter.

And from my experience it is illegal to ride with on hand in Alberta. I can scan the my friend's ticket he got last week. Idiot thought it was funny to wave to a speed trap. Wasn't even speeding, cops pulls him over and gives him a ticket for riding with on hand, missing front reflectors, missing rear reflectors, obstructed plates, and two more stupid tickets I don't remember.

if that can land a person a ticket for "riding with one hand", how are motorcyclists supposed to perform hand signals without getting ticketed?!

...I can't speak for others but my lower back gets sore from hunching over for long periods of time or wrists get sore too. By taking one hand off the steering, it allows me to sit more upright. Then when you're more of an upright position, your free hand will either rest o your thigh or your tank.

completely agree with this. also, sitting more upright now, there's less weight on your right hand.

love sportbikes, but they really aren't meant for riding more than 20-30 minutes, ergonomically speaking, and it shows.
 
I don't know...I saw el_zilcho do it and I gave it a try. & it was the greatest thing ever (almost as great as when I figured out how to shift without using the clutch...lol). & for some reason, I also find that having one hand off the handlebar keeps me going the speed limit. It's weird, but it works for me.

Lmao have you guys tried the switcharoo? It's when you put your right hand on the left handlebar and your left hand on the right handlebar. It's actually pretty jokes.
 
I'm over 6'...I just do it too sit up once ina while instead of leaning in when I don't need to...

too each their own!
