THROTTLE MATE Cuise control

[sohoeasy]

Sorry, but if you're finding it too much bother to hold your throttle open for more than 5 mins without a bit of plastic to help you it might be time to thinking about moving on from biking ...

I do regular trips to the southern alps and Scandinavia, normally in one shot. I'm figuring this will prove it's worth as I normally get a bit tired on the throttle toward the end of the day. I'll be in riding Cherbourg / Spain this Friday coming,so hopefully I'll be back here with some positive feedback !


Actually,if I could get hold of one of those little cars and slip a CBR motor into it I'd be well happy to run about in one. I like a laugh. :cheer:

How does 5 minuets equate to 500 miles !??.

Duh. I have a KTM!

.......

Anyway, I still think they're unnecessary.

I've managed 954 miles in a day without one. Perhaps you all just need some extra wrist exercise.

Was initialy against this little item, seemed a bit poinless. But everone on the forum seemed not to be able to live without, so for a few quid thought I'd give it a go.tried today, just 100 miles down Cromer, not many roads to benefit from such a device but I have to admit when I did use it was very impressed. Especialy on the way home.
Definatly give the hand a rest, woulnt call it a cruise control more a throttle assistance.Very good. Only thing, mine came in black, fluro might be better could see it getting put down and lost, other than that, great.

At last, arrived just in time thanks to JK sending (another) recorded delivery so that I can travel with it.

Top lad and good service. Off we go !

Bought mine at the Boil, I thought it was a brilliant bit of kit but it snapped today :unsure:

Don't let my experience put anyone off as I havn't heard of anyone else having a problem and the Tigers grips are thicker than most.

Whats it made of, polypropylene?

Is there a forum discount? :whistle:

Got a Tesco Club card as well............. :laugh:

I bought one recently, fitted and used it for first time yesterday on a run from Poole to London and back, total round trip of 290 miles. The Stelvio was averaging 40mpg, with this device fitted that rose to 44mpg. Not bad for a 1200 at steady 80mph me thinks with city riding thrown in the mix.

Should pay for its self in no time

And it will,if not in fuel in time .

I'm sorry to be the sceptic ...

How does it save fuel or time?
