Throttle lock cruise control

Sounds like that's a better idea than the Go-cruise - Just!

Pretty much agree with Battersea. Handy for short periods at best but well worth the money.

I did have a big scare once on the highway. Had it set for some time when a car suddenly changed lanes across my path. I was going around 120km/h. Grabbed the front brake instinctively, front wheel locked and rear kept driving. Front started to slide out and I was very close to a nasty fall but was able to release the brake, back off the throttle and grab the brake again. Since then I only use it for short periods to give my hand a rest or adjust a zip or something like that. They are inherently dangerous if used as a defacto cruise control rather than a temporary throttle lock.

holly ****sky!! you locked the front wheel at 120kms must have been a scary short moment if you managed to keep upright and very lucky I locked the front once only in 40 years of riding but was not as lucky as you were, the second that front stopped I went down granted I was not going fast but I could not have done anything
I think in retrospect that at High speed the momentum of forward speed may give you that extra second before all hell break loose I was doing 40 kms and down it went instantly glad to know you managed to stay upright ( did you have to change your shorts afterward)
