If it was hands instead of feet, these opinions reflect my attitude:

your kidding right? its the guys with no skill nor confidence that ride with both hands on the bars, death grip all around, and then post on here asking why their hands fall asleep. Ive been riding a long time, logged hundreds of thousands of miles, and I almost always ride hard and fast. Very often you will see me one hand on the throttle the other on my *****. Sometimes I switch up and will have my left hand on the throttle and my right hand hanging just to circulate the blood. Sometimes I tighten my thumb screw and ride with no hands at all. A good rider controls 90% of the bike and its movements with his legs, not his arms or hands.

How does taking 1 hand off the grips mean that you don't have confidence or sense of balance, seems it would take more of both to ride with 1 or no hands.

Well sure. I usually pull off to the side of the highway when I have to rub my nose or scratch something. I never use the turn signals because I would have to loosen my grip on the handle bar. I was thinking of getting a set of those leather straps that weight lifters use so my hands won't slip off the grips by accident, even in an accident.

dude, your a tool, and your post is totally contradictory. first you start off with one hand on the bars, then you talk about lack of confidence or skill... wtf?

I only put my hands on the grips if I have to (or if I lack the confidence to ride with them off the grips). Just sayin'.

That's funny!! Don't know why hands came into play against the OP. One says he ride with one hand to flip off pu$$ies like the OP but that jerk off can't even read. Wonder if he can count to 5 and figure out which one the middle is.

Another guy whining about how OTHER people do things. These are the babies that bitch about everything their whole life. Haters, and miserable people.

1.) Maybe they have gum on their boots and don't want to get it on their floor broads or pegs LOL.

2.) Or they are an old flat track rider
