Whenever I'm not bunched up in traffic... or when I'm not out by myself enjoying the twisties...  Mainly, only when I'm grabbing a drink of coffee, or pulling the Gatorade from the saddlebag holder.   8)

I like to use it when on the highway. I like to travel 9mph over the speed limit and then speed up or slow down when needed. Mostly like to ride way ahead of all the cages!

I actually use it quite a bit. A lot on the highway, and when I'm riding in group rides I will fiddle with it a lot... sort of as a little game to see how closely I can match the speed of the bike in front of me, to keep from getting bored when we're out on a highway with nothing much to do but follow.

I use it a lot on the open highway when not traveling with a group.  When traveling with a group if I am not the lead bike I have found I am constantly adjusting trying to match the speed of others especially in a hilly area.

I use it all the time when I am not riding in tight formation or in heavy traffic.  It is easy to adjust speed up and down, and easy to quickly disengage without hitting the brakes.

Kinda depends on what kind of riding you do.  Mostly around town and rare trips less than 1-2 hours probably could get by without cruise.

I use mine nearly every time I ride.  It's the single most used "accessory" I have, and I'll never have a road bike without cruise again.

Never used mine. Don't even know if it is operational. Too much going on around me here in Korea to enjoy it.

All the time when out on the open road, if I didn't I'd get a lot of tickets.....

You gotta be smart enough to understand the rules of motorcycling, and dumb enough to think the game's important.
