If I can throw a signal I will, if I'm not comfy with taking a hand off the bar, I don't. I know this is a QC discussion page, but just wanted to throw in what happened to me with both hands on the bar. Speaking of riding right...this happened within 35 miles on first day of my first ride at end of December. Riding around the Old Forge area from Stillwater Rez, came upon 3 guys coming at me. Passed the first guy ok, don't remember a hand signal, lol. 2nd guy just lost the front end of his kitty cat and crossed the trail right in front of me...no where to go, tried to turn as far right as I could, saw his wide eyes, heard the crunch and over the bars we both went! Luckily it was just a couple of busted sleds and a tweaked back(probably due to age) and some bruises. Could have been A LOT worse and I could have rode it out, but you see that drop of oil in the snow...cracked my oil tank. All experienced riders. He was the youngest of the group at 58. He felt terrible and immediately owned it 100%. I'm 55 and been riding for 30 years. First time I've ever had this happen to me and hopefully the last! It's not always the young throttle jockeys. Just a mistake on his part, happened in the blink of an eye. Finally picking up the sled tomorrow, ugh.
