    Cruise control

    Can someone please advise me why there are no motorbikes with Cruise Control? Is there a way of limiting the speed on my bike,to stop me accidently breaking 55kmh and then 110kmh. My grandfather told me to take open my wrist up before taking grip of the accelerator, thus stopping me from fully opening the throttle. This hasn't worked at all.
    I think having to look down at your speed should be time spent keeping an eye out for pedestrians, non-indicating cars etc + it would be nice to not be constantly paranoid about getting speeding tickets.
    I wave to every biker I see.

    Also, there are a few bikes that come with it from the factory, I believe.

    It's a bastard, all ya doin' is riding safe as ya can, Then those highway robbers pounce. Your right to keep ya eye on the surrounds rather than the speedo ( especially if you like me & need glass's to read !!)
    I've got a radar detector with remote helmet indicator, it just keeps you in check when it goes off.
    I limit my rides in town.! too many blind tinnies.
    If there are corners to ride, I'm be tearing rubber!

    It must be easy to do with a tranducer on a bit that goes around and around, a little calibration and a beeper ... just like those #&&#@ beepers on the jap import domestic cars where they "bing-bong" at 102 and drive you NUTS!!!

    In '94 I rode a GL1500 (and trailer) across the USA and the factory cruise control was very handy dandy. Free up ya mitts to use the drink holder etc!!

    Use your ears. Learn what 100 sounds like & remember it. Ive had my new bike a matter of days & have it sorted already
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    There are tonnes of bikes with cruise. Look in the latest Harley catalog ferchristsake.

    Nothin' better than bombin along on your Road King classic, 110kph, feet on the engine bars, leanin back, givin the fingers to other motorists with both hands.

    The real mystery is how come that fat bastard Hurley has never lost any weight.
