    how about no hands? At 70, I love to reach both arms back to the rear hand grips and stretch my shoulders out. I can ride for a quarter of a mile like this on a straight stretch of road.

    I have one question... Can you keep decent control at freeway speeds and able to only use one arm/hand at times to rest the other arm/hand?
    I have a little arthritis in one wrist, and need to rest it out every once in a while.
    I've been riding a BMW r1150GS for the last 23 years, and two up on two wheels has become taxing on my wrist without giving it a rest.
    I'm at that age (pushing 70) where maybe a Spyder would feel safer

    Thank you for your input
    Sure you can. I do it all the time.

    I just set the cruise control and off I go. Sometimes, I do the "Look Ma, no hands" when there's no vehicles around me.
