Aye, it's crazy talk. Aye, if 100+ miles is a long ride. As Steve alludes to, if you're relying on your handlebar covering for vibration dampening the source of your problem is elsewhere. Could be too much weight forward or in the wrong angle/position, and a saddle and/or handlebar/stem adjustment is in order (play around with one thing at a time, learn from failure, so it isn't failure. Grin.) Learn to absorb shock with knees and elbows, ride plush tires, and slap a single layer of delicious cotton tape on there! Grin.
