Wasn't directed at you bud. Kind of a blanket statement. When the riding is rough or twisty I ride two handed. If I'm on say a rural route whatever and its easy riding I like to pull a hand off. Sometimes its just for comfort, sometimes I'm fiddling with something, a lot of times I'll rest my hand on my lady's knee or thigh and give her a little squeeze. Typicaly I reserve no handed riding for long highway runs were I can count on decent roads. Yah I know... But the unexpected!!! I'm still watching the road. Just dropping my arms down to cut fatigue in hands, shoulders and back. And on that note I've blasted from Worcester mass to Watkins glen new York in the dead of night making a game of it. Hands on the bars for exits and such but..... Can I get the whole way with no hands? Yup.

Take care and enjoy riding.. I did things on dirt bikes and atvs that I shouldn't have done, even just a couple years ago and I'll be 55 this year, but that's what they're made for.. And yes it hurts... ��

If the guy can't control his bike and is making you nervous just steer clear. No need to make a big stink and come across like a reflective vest wearing safety ****. Ride your ride and let others ride theirs.
I would care if you rode like a jack hole and endangered eveyone around you.
