Yeah, and my insurance rates get to pay for some of the aftermath of that game.........

I personally don't get cruise control on a bike, what's the point your hands are always on the bars right?. My bike has a friction screw on the throttle side and I use it if I need to keep speed for what ever reason. It seems like a waste of money. *****

If you ride the freeways in California, 85 is no big deal. When I travel there I also keep one eye in the rear view mirror so some clown doesn't hit me from behind. People there do 100 mph runs in big SUV's all the time.
One time I was headed to San Diego, rolling along at 85 when I had a CHP in my rear view mirror. I moved over one lane; all he wanted to do was pass me so he could drive at 90.

If one is riding in a defensive manner, there is a constant change in speed....due to conditions, traffic, animals, etc....this is why I think cruise control is a needless item.
