Throttle By Wire...???

Well, I am pretty good at elementary stuff. TBW has replaced "throttle by cables". Some guys really don't like the TBW for reasons they can explain. My 2010 has TBW and I love it. I have had two previous HDs with traditional throttle cables, and I prefer the TBW.
The TBW system has a sensor in the grip that sends a signal (via a wire) to an interpretive unit called a throttle control actuator attached to an induction module that in turn ultimately manipulates the fuel injection system. This is what makes you go vroooooooom...
My 2010 Ltd came with heated grips, but I didn't like the stockers, so I upgraded to the Harley Chrome and Rubber heated grips. That change required that I purchase a new grip sensor assembly. It was installed by HD and has given me no problems so far.

Throttle by wire
I know this an old issue, but today I was riding in the mountains and my throttle quit working, I could not rev. I shut the bike down for a few seconds and cranked it back up and the throttle was working again. It happened again about 40 miles later. No throttle response. I pulled of the HWY onto the grass and shut her down. Luckily when I cranked it back up the throttle worked again and I was able to make it home. Question #1 Has anyone else had this problem? #2 How did you fix it? I would really hate to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere and this not fix itself. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
