My instructor always said, "try to ride like you have broken wrists, so that you are merely resting your hands on the bars"

Yes, although do not do what I did and learn to ride a big bike with a recently broken wrist. It is quite incredibly unpleasant when you forget!

This became so bad for me that I fitted an ABM comfort kit , loved the bike so much that the clip-ons had to go , it transformed the bike for me and I love it to bits now . It does get better with time though .

I also suffer badly with the pins and needles to the point where my index and middle fingers go totally numb..... it`s something I really need to look at once the bike comes out of hibernation.
