Your welcome, just remember there is no perticular way to carry your weapon while riding, use whatever way is most comfortable for you and would allow easy access, also remember to practice safe handleing no matter which way you use, Stay Safe,Thank you all. I was considering carrying the same way but I am still new to carrying and wanted to know if anyone had a way they like and find the best.
Before I begin this small rant - I'm speaking from 28 years' experience shooting, and 19 years' experience riding.
Let's not be ridiculous. You are not Mad Max. This is not Bartertown. No way are you going to be drawing your firearm with your left hand while shooting from your bike. That kind of crap is best left to stuntmen.
If you find yourself in a situation while riding - it is best resolved with a suitable application of throttle or brake as appropriate.
With that said...you SHOULD practice drawing and firing with your off hand, but from your usual mode of carry. This becomes a real possibility if your shooting arm is injured in a mugging or similar situation.
I have never had to fire while riding, but I have done it and it aint no big deal. Handgun and .410 snake charmer. And you don't need to use your left hand, cruise control or throttle lock.

OK, Edsworld, I just have to know: Did you hit anything? :biggrin:
BTW, I've read that old time motor cops liked Indians because the throttle was on the left. I have no idea if any of them ever really shot while riding, but they probably liked the idea that they could.
Hey, I know! Put an old High Standard Model 10 in a tankside holster. :laugh: Maybe I can clamp the holster to the Givi bars alongside the tank on my Suzuki DL650...
Added a picture of my motorcycle! What do all of yours looks like?
Phillip, what is that?
Welcome to our group, I ride a Harley Ultra Classic and a Turbo Busa, the Harley has a hundred places to parg a weapon, the Busa has none LOL, unless you want one of those ugly butt tank bags, I mostly keep my weapon in a good belt holsterI joined up just to talk about this exact topic. I ride year round and was wondering the best way to carry on my Hayabusa. I've got a lot of great ideas from you folks and think i will get it worked out.
2002 Honda VTX Retro 1800S
In case you're not familiar - VTX stands for "v-twin extreme" - 1800CC engine, which was the biggest v-twin engine in production at the time. The cylinders and pistons are the largest manufactured by Honda - and I'm including the ones in their cars. Over 100 HP from the factory, top speed of 140mph off the showroom floor - yet comparable in wheelbase, size, and comfort to a Harley Road King. And the color - I like to refer to it as "Deep Discount Orange." Because of the color, it sat on the showroom floor from 2002 to 2005, and I got an unbelievable deal on it as a new leftover.
I love this bike!
