...more often after a close encounter with the popo.

Didn't they just elect a new one of those in Rome?....... :o ;D ::)

Sorry, just a little bit of humor this morning.....very little...... :bananarock:

As far as cruise control, use it all the time.  Mainly on the highway but it's also good to use on curvy/backroad trips where you need to rest the wrist once in a while.  Great invention, IMO.

Whenever possible......................I love it and it works great.
It was the reason I even looked at a touring bike in the first place. But one test ride on one had me sold within 2 miles. DAMN dealer demo rides.

Use mine all the time when I'm on the "super slabs".  (VA State Police have speed traps all over the place.)  Never use it when I'm cruising the back roads though.

Interstate only. And, I avoid Interstate highways whenever possible. But, coming across on I-80 or I-70 it sure is nice to have.

Same here...on trips with long periods in the saddle on the open road.  Does a great job of giving the throttle fist a rest. :2vrolijk_21:

Most every day that I ride.
Highways and long streches on roadways with little traffic.
Sometimes in a group travelling on long straight strecthes, just for a change up.

Hiway running, all the time. Almost wish I had shut it off while traveling SW Montana on I-15. Coming around a corner and the overhanging rocks blotted out the sun and I couldn't see how bad the road was. A wee bit of fish-tailing through the uneven road but I guess it would have happened with or without the cruise enabled.

Whenever I have an open stretch of road and the wrist needs a break.  I wouldn't want a bike without it.

If I am in 3rd gear or above for more than a few minutes, cruise control is on.  Would never have a bike without it!

I don't get to use it often, there is just too much traffic around here.  What with the semi's doing 85-90 down the hills and 50 going up, the traffic is always surging and then backing up.  But when I do get the chance, I really enjoy it.
