Don't carry it on you: carry it in a bag or something.
Statistically, you are more likely to get knocked off your bike, or fall unaided than you are of getting attacked whilst riding.
I have been riding a fair few years, and I have seen people with all sorts strapped to their body, whilst on a bike.When I was younger and stoopider, I used to ride with my security chain over my shoulder: unbelievably daft.
You fall with a pistol on you, and there is a very good chance you will break bones. Bones that you need: it could be your hip, ribs, or back. A life long limp, time off work and no earnings, life in a wheel chair etc...
I say wear a leather holster, under the arm, and discreetly put the gun in there whe you get off the bike, and put it back in a tank or seat bag when you get back on.
People who carry seem to do so for protection, and so I say do what will keep you safest most of the time. On a bike that means don't strap lumps of steel to your person!
My 2p: take it or leave it. Either way, ride safe!
