Hmmm, well sounds like a bunch of folks like the thing. All my trips are on Interstate's (I-95, I-4, I-75) and the traffic fluctuates so much if didn't have a release on the brake (like in my truck) I doubt I would use it that much.
I guess I am a fumble fingers cause I just don't trust my ability to get it off in a quick situation.
Thanks for the input though.

The beauty of using the stock throttle lock is that you don't have to "get it off". Once you get the feel of it, you just engage it enough to hold the throttle when your hand is off of it but you can still turn the throttle at any time. All it takes is a light pressure to hold the throttle. And obviously, I wouldn't recommend using it in crowded traffic situations.
Thanks

I dare not use my throttle lock. I think there must be something buggered in it cause you have to wind it forever, then its suddenly on, HARD. I have messed around with it a fair bit trying to get a feel for it but its either jammed on or completely off, no middle ground with the thing.
It scares the crap out me, last thing i want is a wide open throttle when i don't need it. Making sure its off is one of my pre flight checks.
