Tiger,try using your lower back muscles to keep your riding position while you loosen your grip on the bars.Lower back strength is essential for long or fast rides.If the numbness is right hand specific,pay attention to your hand/wrist position while your out next time.You may notice that your hand is point up and the bottom of your wrist is pointing down,sort of like a V.That is certainly enough to block the bloodflow to your hands.Try keeping your wrist straight while you're on the highway and see how it feels for you.Good luck.

I just got back into riding in May after a 16 year hiatus. The day I bought my bike, and after driving it  around that afternoon (put 200 km on it :P ), I realized my hands were pretty numb as well. Symptoms were very similar to what you described. And the vibrations in the grips were really not bad at all. The next day, I realized that I had the 'death grip' happening. It took me a couple of days to get get comfortable with the bike before I realized I was more confident and didn't hang on as tight. I haven't had the numbness problem since.

It remains to be seen if it will return when I get my new bike later this week.
