It would take quite a wind to depress the clutch on my Triumph. I think I would be safe. I wish I had known about those things back in the 80s when my Triumph was my only vehicle.
Now that I have a 'Jammered R65 I just try not to ride my Triumph when it's that cold.

Are not MotoGP brake levers slotted to prevent wind pressure actuation and they don't even use hippo hands.

Re: frozen fingers
My guess would be that any slotting would be part of the never-ending attempt to shed unnecessary metal, but who knows, it might be necessary to limit that little bit of pressure on a hydraulic clutch when you have a 180 mph wind blowing on that lever.barryh wrote:Are not MotoGP brake levers slotted to prevent wind pressure actuation and they don't even use hippo hands.
