[QUOTE=ynots;12770790]Why, will it void your warranty?[/QUOTE
No, nothing like that. When you go for the brakes in an emergency, you expect the throttle to return to idle. When it doesn't, panic turns to fear and dread very quickly....

[QUOTE=petefwa;12793084]You're kidding us right? In any emergency or routine panic stop situation, and we get plenty of those here in Houston traffic, you should not expect anything of the sort...you had better be on top of things and simultaneously twisting the throttle to idle while downshifting and braking right now and not mentally waiting for the throttle to return on its own...just say'n...

Mate, when l'm sittin' on a dollar ten and a kangaroo jumps out in front of me, all l wanna do is stop. Perfectly coordinated downshifts are not going to be formost in my thoughts....

Here in Canada we have long roads with Moose and Deer to watch for. Lol. That thumbscrew cruise is nice but it makes me a little nervous so I set it just tight enough to hold but loose enough to pull down on the throttle while panic braking.
[QUOTE=petefwa;12793749]I would LOVE to ride on that road

That's my point, it's a very fine line between tight enough to hold and too tight which is why l would advise against it.....

thinking about this, if you cannot do all those things at the same time to make a panic maneuver or stop then good luck with those kangaroos. 
I think we can both agree that whether it is kangaroos at 110 on a long dusty road in somewhere Downunder or distracted cagers at 30 on a crowded freeway in large city metropolis USA, ya'd better be on your toes.
