Kurt is correct. A good friend once told me 'loosey goosey' with the handlebars is best on less than ideal road conditions. Don't over react.

Thanks guys! I actually do have a very light grip. I actually dont even wrap my fingers around the clutch side grip and only use my pinky and ring fingers around the throttle.r67boxer@gmail.com wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 9:09 am"Loosening your grip on the bars will let the front end float a bit until you can get past that section. Slowing down will help some, too."

Its just that I have never felt my bike feel that loose over the rain groove on the highway. But that being said, all of my bikes have modern tires. I guess I just need to get used to it.

We all have different preferences. I like the modern tires on our bikes. Here is my review of the Avon Road Riders.
