so a throttle tamer does not limit my use of throttle!!!!!!!! ie to slow me down!!!!
I organized a group ride this past Saturday. 13 riders. I watched as a friend on a big V star misjudged a long turn, going about 70mp/h, hit a 8X8 road marker pole, flew into a ditch, about 20 feet, bike ended up up side down in ditch. God was watching for him, as he walked away. Bike is a total loss. Scared the crap out of me, as I was just behind him. Just as I am about to leave for a 2 week ride through New England States. My wife has lectured me again and again to slow down. Witnessing this, might just help me.
He rode home pillion with me. On a brighter note, he fell in love with the ST and hopes to purchase one with his insurance money!!!
