is their a name for that finger twitching after a long ride?

[gimpy limp]

if not their should be a name for it anyone else had it after a long days riding your fingers tend to twitch by themselves from lots of break and clutch work.

I think you're thinking of 'carpal tunnel syndrome' but I thought that was numbing or pins and needles in the hands from vibration.

[tokarev]

Yeah I have had that twtiching in my fingers on my right hand (throttle hand) after a long ride.

Don't know what it could be called though...."Bikers Twitch"

[steveh]

RSI?

repetative strain injury, how much do you ride your bike

Steve.

Just your muscles are going through the same motions as they have been for along period of time. You could call it RSI, but not really as that's about the damage your hand gets.

I'd say it's closer to shellshock, like when a war veteran hears a loud noise they think 'bomb!' and flinch. Same here, but people are just still thinking about pulling in that clutch lever.

I am drunk, sorry if this doesn't make sense.

[gimpy limp]

lol

definatelly needs a cool/appropriate name to refer to it with.

I've got it in my right hand aswell from a bike i'm not used to i've been on all day (er5). Just the cold weather I think.

I have to say I don’t suffer with this at all maybe it is because I have forearms like Popeye maybe it from year of sustained self abuse or maybe it is down to the stile of bike and the way I ride.

Still if you are getting these “Bikers Twitches” there are a few things you can do to like eating bananas the potassium they contain is very good for the muscles after and during exercise you can also strengthen get the muscles in your forearm to become more used to the continued strain of maintaining a strong grip. Simple things playing with a squeeze ball while watching TV and the like. Over time your forearm muscles will become accustomed to continual strain of a long ride and you can say goodbye to “Bikers Twitch”

[McGee]

Fear HAHAHA i laugh at it

isnt it just cramp? maybe some finger stretching before hand would do the trick

work on a car engine all day, constantly using your fingers, and they go twitchy.

[Gilderoy]

when I used to ride motocross we used to get "the claw". Your hands lock up due to holding on too tight. Funny thing is you can't open it to grab the brake.
