I suppose it depends how short you are...

For me it would be easier to set the idle high enough it would cruise along in the right gear and take both hands off.
The bike will carry on straight left to its own devices, but folded over like that every bump in the road would be transmitted into one bar.

On the DR I can wave while standing on the pegs for judder bars etc... On the Hayabusa it turned out to be very ill advised. On the CB I have not been silly enough to try.

Sets an interesting precedent though, drive back past a crime scene immediately and its possible your similar make and model vehicle is not enough evidence to convict.... Could be interesting for the next drive by shooting victim...errr though they not normally alive for evidence giving,,,, but that bit about being focused on one thing then the number plate in next view, that's an out for a variety of road offences.

Wonder what sort of bike.... and no mention of left or right hand... just thinking about throttle control you know....

At lower speeds I used to be able to use the idle riser (faux choke) on the Hayabusa to set a speed of ~30-50kmph... makes lurching around car parks or down long road works far simpler than riding the clutch. Awsome for shaking cramp out of the throttle hand.

Or maybe he has one of these: http://www.fastbikegear.co.nz/index....oducts_id=6179

Or maybe there was a certain resident of both KB and the shore who used to like using a shoelace to tie off the throttle so he could impress girls by going past standing on the pegs without touching the bars?

The mechanics of the throttle part are the easy bit...

Should've gone to specsavers

Bet she was blushing when telling her best friend about it " Really Agnes, it was this long, honest"

Well, it rules out Honda riders due to the "witness" being female.
Hardley fergussons are out as well, due to being at substantial speed. OR... maybe the arseless trousers were allowing access to the knob! The plot thickens!

CSI KB will investimigate further!
