I can ride with no hands, but I have to shift my weight to counteract road crown.  Only do this on occasion to be sure the scooter still tracks straight.

I can ride with no hands but due to the danger of doing so I try to keep it to a minimum. Unless I am building my own cigarettes or changing DVD in the TV it is both hands on the bars for me.

I can ride without using my hands, but I can't actually ride with no hands

Must have hands to ride without hands.  8)

Mine will track to the side that has the most crap in that saddle bag. Equalize the junk in both bags or leave it all home. Bike will probably run straight.

I can ride almost anytime without hands; however, road crown and loading will cause the bike to lean or not run straight at times.  If you have loose spokes on your rims the bike can also wobble!

I admit it, I ride with no hands: showing off for someone, or myself...but it's usually the time when I get my best sleep. Any sleep is good sleep, right?

It's well known around Los Angeles if you get caught riding with no hands, you get a lecture from the police or CHP. Then they make you watch old episodes of "CHIP'S" and closeups of Eric Estrada for a week straight. If that wasn't bad enough, your fined, fingered and fXXXed by the LAPD. He said "toss that salad", I went and got 1000 island, and he laughed..

Let's be real, riding with no hands is just plain stupid when upon $25,000 plus Harley Davidsons. It's unnecessary, and most of us all do it for some stupid reason. in which I shake my head at everytime.

Ride Safe and don't dick around with potential disaster. There's plenty of that waiting on every street corner, alley and Highway.

Eric Estrada close up's should scare anybody into hands only!!

I don't advocate riding no hands BUT, if you can't let go of the bars and have the bike track straight and true something is really wrong so any bike I have, I check for that on occasion.

you are right I don't plan on riding with ot my hands on the bars i just think that to check to see if the bike tracks true you have to at least let go a little to test it. Thanks for all the help Billy

Be for I had new dunlops put on and the TXR my bike ran straight as an arrow now I don't no what is going on, it seems very touchy going down the highway. I guess I have to get use to it with the TXR. Has anyone else had the bike feel different after the TXR was put on.
