yeah I have one on both my bikes. It's handy to have on long rides, you can rest your wrists by just holding it with the heel of your hand.

Same. Just got done with a 2200 mile trip this week, and used it the whole time. Great for stretching your throttle hand without stopping.

Had one since '06, use it on long rides. I get crampy after a couple hundred miles if I'm gripping the throttle.

Yup, I used one on my 1000 mile trip a few years ago on my sportbike. During the highway stretches I used it, and if I hit a back road where I was on and off the throttle a lot, shifting weight around, I would just spin it so it was pointing down and it was like it wasn't even there until I needed it again, then I would just spin it into position again. I still have it and am using it on my Harley now.

Next best thing to cruise and throttle lock if you do not have CC. Best $10 you can spend.
If anyone is thinking of getting one get black. The chrome painted one wears off and looks like crap after a short time.

I've got one, I really like it. Worth the few bucks it costs. Easy to remove if your tooling around bar hopping.

Got one, I've got psoriatic arthritis ( and past hand injuries) so it helps. Not a fan of Cruise on a bike.
