Now all you have to do is wear the depends on long trips, and you won't have to stop for anything!

That's pretty much the way I ride all the time...........of course not at intersections or starting off but on the highway atall speeds especially over 70....very relaxing

I do it all the time.When I'm on the open road I use the throttle lock and rest my right arm and hand and keep my left hand on the grip. I always set the throttle lock so that it just holds the throttle open and I can still close it if needed.

It'd be pretty hard to do "the wave" with your left hand on the grip!

I use my my left leg and foot, except it's a bitch at 80 mph though.

Me too,
my hands tend to go numb after a while so I hang them down to get some blood circulating

I usually just throw my left foot over the tank and cross my legs. It's comfortable and offers a change of position on long ride.
