- "- Keep a loose grip on the bars, a white-knuckled death grip never helps with handling and it makes for sore shoulders and an uncomfortable rider. A loose rider is a rider that is agile and able to react." "You might try relaxing your grip... sometimes the wind buffeting your shoulders will make you pull on the steering in a gust,... and then overcorrect... amplifying the wallows. JMHO... "
As a kid I pushed through a front south of Minneapolis in an old freighter with no oxygen down at the treetops, throttles to the stops, losing altitude by the minute and with knuckles bright white. Finally my old WWII bomber co-pilot said "I got it kid" much to my relief. He pulled the throttles back, dialed in some trim and hardly touched the controls. As with bikes, a great lesson in white knuckled over-control.
