Fingers on brake?

Two for the brake, two on the clutch, and two for taters whore of an ex wife!

Seriously I can modulate the same with 2 or four, its just the speed at which you can get to the brake that makes me want to cover it at all times. Hard to work the throttle with an open palm so I just use two and keep my pinkie and ring finger working the throttle.

I am getting old and noticing I have to use 4 fingers on the clutch anymore. Long rides using only two on the clutch will cramp my wrist and forearm. Suppose it is the begginings of carpel tunnel, but since I shift a hella lot more than I brake it is only an issue for the left hand. Maybe I should buy a liter bike and not shift as much???
