Look Ma, No Hands

Some guy in Michigan is going to attempt to ride his bike on a 300 mile trip... using his hands as little as possible.

The same thing here in the state of Queensland (Oz) would get you pulled over by Plod -> it's the law to have both feet and at least one hand controlling the motorcycle at all times! :dry:

Don't know what we're supposed to do if we get a cramp in a leg and/or we need to stretch our legs? :huh:

It's a relatively new law to stop people (read 'squids') standing on seats etc - I haven't yet heard of anyone getting booked tho!

Keith Code would be shocked.

Not sure how legal/illegal it is here, but I gotta say, there's nothing quite like setting the throttle lock and hanging both arms and legs into the wind at speed for a full body stretch. Ahhh... :smile:

Over here in Oz we've got roads that long without a corner to worry about.

Going for the Darwin award. :fing02:

maybe he can do an ironbutt too and be a double dumbass.

Not unless the fella unloaded his techniques on a cone drill or something........

Can anyone tell me what the point of this is? We all know that bike can't turn worth a damn! :491:

My bad...I read the blurb. Good cause I guess, just seems like a stupid stunt to raise money.

Reg Pridmore wouldn't be...according to Pridmore, your arms are in the way. OK, maybe not in the way but not required to steer a motorcycle.

Two things:
One- keeping your hands off the bars will help prevent them from falling asleep from all the vibration!
Two- It's a HD, no turns are necessary or desired!

:laughing6-hehe:


I kid, I kid! :goofy:

All I can hear is....

"Hey Y'all, watch this"

Ahhh, those famous Michigan last words "Hold My Beer and watch this!"
Why take your cruiser bar-hopping when you can just ride hands free to hold your beer?
