Christ. Yea that's why manufacturers have instructions in the owners manual on riding without your hands off the bars and insurance companies pay out faster for "hands off the bars crashes". Do you understand the silliness of a post with this type of ill considered recommendation?
I'd love to ask an A grade racer here to accelerate down the straight and then take both hands off the bars so I can ascertain how the bike is set up and see his response.
Personally I think you should delete your post for safety reasons.

Phil, Phil, Phil ... calm down and get out of your own way.
_ Nobody is suggesting that one puts their hands in their pockets while riding. No one is suggesting to sit backwards on the seat. With an open mind anyone can envision testing a bike for a tendency to wobble with their hands open and millimeters away from re-gripping the bar.
_ I respect that you, as a man with a degree in engineering, a master machinist and a Grade A racer have been very helpful, in many ways to the readers of this and other forums. Still ... sometimes you stake out the strangest positions such that it becomes confusing.
_ Anyway, I stand by the fact that one can and should safely test the state of a motorcycle's stability. And in the meantime I'll go back to watching TV coverage of Grade A racers, around the world, crossing the finish line, double fist bumping the sky in victory only to crash and tumble.
