Default What do you do with your left hand?

I know it could be a touchy subject, but I have been thinking about this for a day or three.

Just what do you do with your left hand when not hanging on for dear life.

ie. adjust mirrors, light your pipe, Check for heat, pressure...

I have a tendency to park mine on my knee if not checking the jewels or lighting the pipe. (-;

Already LMFAO

Couple of possibilities:

1. pull clutch lever
2. roll down drivers window
3. hold the back of her head

LOL...so true!
I was rolling through a not so good section of Asbury Park NJ with a buddy heading to the convention center (no not to see Bruce) but to go to a Clam bar called Biggies...

Anyway...as we were rolling down a block, two brothers started pointing their fingers upside down at us waving their arms in and out. They were throwing gang signs no doubt but we didnt know if they were excited to see the bikes or they were saying get your *** out of the neighborhood....

It was funny but I still dont know what they meant.

Well. Considering I AM left handed.. I keep myself company while I'm on long trips..

Just kidding, although I really am a lefty! I usually keep it on the handle unless I'm getting a drink or something.

Usually, when they want you out of the neighborhood they will wave a nickel plated 1911 with mother of pearl grips. So I am guessing they were saying hello.
