I've always used my cruise control religiously, whether it be a four wheeler or two. As others have said, it allows you the chance to relax the right hand from time to time. I've also found that I arrive at my destination much more relaxed because I'm not spending so much time worrying about my speed. I've never been that great at manually holding speed for more than an hour or two at a time. It makes a big difference at the end of a long day.

Haven't even tried it yet lol. Don't ride in areas that would much provide a chance to use it.

One of the reasons I decided to get into the Cruiser family.
That being said have, only used it once justto see how it worked.
Seattle area traffic, a new bike that's justtwo weeks old and working 12 hour days
and weekends my chances have been limited.....but I'll use it out in the open!

Cruise control on my FLHRCI has me spoiled. I use it all the time on interstate and long open two lane roads.

Only thing I like better is my backrest!I use it on the highway. The bike tracs a little to the left with no hands, I suppose it has something to do with the torque from the drive?

Didn't have it on my 99 Softail, and didn't think much about it when I got the 07 RKC.

Now I'm wondering how I ever made do without it.
