No. Not good at all. Your hands should only ever be resting lightly on the clip-ons.

Use your core/back strenght to hold up your body weight when you're sitting upright and use your leg planted against the tank to support your weight while cornering. It takes some getting used to, but you will not believe how much stability it adds to your bike throughout cornering.

1000%

Hold your bars no tighter than you'd hold an empty bottle of water without hearing it crinkle or a tube of toothpaste without squeezing anything out of it.

Something still seemed up today. I really need to look at my tires...
