It just appears to me almost as if they are "cradling" their left arms/hands and treating them rather gingerly. Kind of like favoring a leg if you sprained an ankle. I thought maybe there was something about the "clutch hand" that was special.
Nope, nothing special. Monkey see, monkey do. Kinda like the biker wave. Unique to bikers, yet purposeless.
