Well, I thought, what a crap to ride a HD without hands, but then...

Phil Comar of Adrian told The Daily Telegram that the Sunday ride is in memory of his father, Robert, who died in 2008.

is very touchy;

Though I may not witness or even see his ride, I wish him all the best & Good Luck. Need to check out which HD is he riding on.

Indeed a true biker at heart.

BTW if he is driving without hands then how will he operate the clutch to change the gears.

A Noble Spirited biker! However, He can afford to do it, because those are American roads, occupied by responsible American citizens.

Fellow Bikers, don't even attempt something of this sort in India, ok?

Indeed a nice way to raise money for charity. But how to operate the clutch and also the accelerator when using no hands?

Looks like our man has managed to complete his ride. Reportedly done it in a little over 4 hrs. Would have had to average at about 79 mph when the usual speed limits are about 70mph. Wonder if the Guiness authorities will grant him the record despite the possible over-speeding.

Link to the news: No Hands Ride completed

Very true. I can imagine bikers thinking of this as a simple and easy way of grabbing attention but our roads and traffic would turn any such attempt into a sure-shot recipe for a mishap. As they say..please don't attempt it at home.

Even I have been wondering about that. But in the apparent absence of any visible or highlighted mods to his bike except for that additional fuel tank for extended range, the rules of the game allow one to get up to cruising speed in the normal hands-on way, then dial in the cruise control and steer with your body for the rest of the distance. Of course you need roads and traffic like it is in the US for that

Several years ago, I remember a person doing it in Yezdi in KL; not sure as why he did that, but he did it not more than a KM stretch & with prior approvals; he was riding up & down several times in the KM stretch & the show lasted for about an hour or so. There were cops all through the street for protection & there were no other vehicles or even people on the main road & this guy was even lying down on the seat & riding his Yezdi.

So there're similar attempts done here, but not long rides.

Hats off

I wonder how he changed gears *ignores crazy ideas in head*

But that's some feat there, I can do 500km in 7 odd hours with my hands firmly planted on the bike and stopping every now and then to refresh myself while this old timer has managed to do it without hands on a much much more powerful bike. lying on a bike for 4 hours + would have taken a toll on his body especially his back and not to mention straining the muscles while trying to keep the bike steady, a harley is no small bike mind you. oh and to top it off he has a big mustache too
