ABSTRACT:
A grip assembly particularly adapted for use with the handle bars of powered machines includes a pair of grips each having a hand grip section. One of the grips is provided with a radially extending thumb shielding section forward of the hand grip section and which includes a body-contacting surface projecting inwardly and forwardly of the hand grip section. The other grip is provided with an enlarged body-engaging member disposed rearwardly of its adjacent hand grip section. With this assembly, a user's thumbs are protected from engagement with the body such as when the associated handle bars are urged toward the body by an attached powered machine.
