RE: [ST] Cruise control recommendations or 2001 Sprint ST for sale

[david.funk@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Any time your attention is less the 100% while riding is somewhat risky. But then riding is always risky.
All "real" cruise controls disconnect/shutoff automatically when you touch the breaks.
All the "throttle lock" type devices do not have so much fraction that you can't easily close the throttle. They just have enough fraction to over come the return springs.

Safe enough for me. (0-ring user)
