Has anyone used Throttlemeister

[Rhino]

I do have to say the youth do have it alot easier.... but on the driving from the back seat thing... Well I dont want that at all. I want to sit in the back seat and say ..."car take me home" and the car does it. Get an extra hour going to work then and extra hour on the way home.

Or on the ZX14, 20 minutes.

ROFL true the ride isnt as long usually but it would also be nice to not worry about if the things that go with makeing a hour trip 20 minutes.

i have used a thottlemeister for years. it takes a couples of tries to set it so it works properly. when i was young and broke i would use a match book. a lot cheaper but doesnt work well in the rain.

over ten iron butt rides in the last 8 years and not one single hand cramp.....i do have a mechanical lock on the Harley and an electronic cruise control I added last year before the run to LA. electronic is the way to go........when you hit those long stretches oh Desert road the no hands lean back is a welcome friend!

When I was new to riding I used "Cramp Buster" on a long ride. Its a lever that goes around the throttle, to rest your wrist on.

I chose to not take it off once I got to my destination, and then did some back roads and it contributed to my crash. The lever got in the way of me reaching to the brake, and then my wrist pushed down on it, revving the engine high, then I ran out of road on the turn and went down.

But like I said, I was a new rider and should have quickly let in the clutch.

Regardless, I have never used a throttle control since then.

cramp buster looks like the same thing as throttle meister.

I ended up going with a similar solution that is more of a throttle lock for $20, I only used it on the long, flat, boring slabs, otherwise I make it a point not to use it, paritlaly for what you have stated above, in general they don't appear to be safe devices to me. But, with that said, I won't do a long trip like I did last month without one, best $20 I ever spent for crossing the desert in new mexico.
