why not?
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.
Didn't know that since I ride with one hand a lot usually tucked between my legs. Than again I'm still using my Ontario plates that expires in 2013. I know the cops in Alberta will beat the **** out of you before they lock you up for a day with just your wife beater on. Had a couple friends with broken fingers and shiners to prove it. One of the dealers told me you need turn signal pods which my bike doesn't come stock with.
Buy a litre bike and don't stop.
I can see the cars behind me through the O my arm makes....otherwise all I see with my mirrors are my elbows....
ps. resting the right arm on the gas tank helps too
