Hand dragging

[yamahor]

So, I was wondering who thinks this is dangerous? (See attached image) Personally, I don't see it as any more dangerous than dragging knee... Just takes some skill and guts (Same as knee draggin). I've been known to drag hand on occasion (granted, I just reach down and my hand touches... APE MAN!!!) So, what is everyone elses thoughts?

I can hang my arm out of the window of my 95 Toyota Tercel and drag my knuckles on the road...
Does that count...

I know of a guy (and board member) who makes a game of it on the round ramps to the freeways. I don't know how I could do that since most of the ramps are right handers. Seems like it'd be easier to do it going left cause you can stay in the throttle.

On the perfect curve, I'll do it sometimes. The Busa settles into corners with such extreme stability it can be done quite easily. You just have to make sure you put your arm straight down and not point it out perpendicular to the bike.

Looks like it would take alot of practice (in a parking lot)

Looks like fun. Something else to learn

Just make sure you put your arm OUT---not under the bike. Man that could hurt!!!

(rockadaous @ Dec. 07 2006,18:11) she's got ballz

Look again...she's just squidly like that. Nice Air shoes, regular "chic" tight jeans....add nice gloves/jacket/helmet...well she's half way there.

I tried it once on a right turn, kind of forgot about the throttle vs. lean etc, and wasn't feeling too comfortable. I find myself wanting to look down at my hand, which messes the lean-curve action all up. I'll have to try on a leftie.

i think ill keep my leather gloves intact for when they are really needed

Used to do it along time ago and my girlfriend always was hanging on and yelling for me to stop doing it!!

I can see if an seasoned rider might do it. But someone that's only been riding for only a couple years might want to watch themselves. Also make sure your by yourself or in a position as to not take someone out in case of an accident.
