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.

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.

I thought they put their fingers in the holes.
You know - like a bowling ball.
