The only thing I can add is back in the day when i started on the job (1981)there was a training bulletin that indicated some outlaw bikers were concealing a device inside the left grip that consisted of a 12 guage shotgun shell and a spring loaded firing pin of some kind. Releasing a lever of some kind on the left grip area would cause this shotgun shell to discharge. The bulletin at the time warned officers to watch out for bikers who were pointing the end of the left grip towards them, because the potential for injury existed.
Keeping your hands on the grips is a good idea, but you might want to consider resting your palms on the grips and keeping your fingers spread and slightly raised and away from any controls on the bars, especially the left one. I haven't seen a similar training bulletin in over twenty years, but you may run into a dinosoar like myself who remembers it- so keep your fingers spread, and don't be moving the bars/front end as I walk up on you.
Also there was another one about dagger blades welded inside gas tank caps. Don't fiddle with them while i'm within arms reach of you..
