Default RE: Anyone seen this

Even a carbcan lock open on you. I've had it happen to me in heavy traffic on my 79. A piece of throttle cable frayed and locked the slide 1/3 open. I pulled in the clutch, let it out, pulled it in, etc. and rode it to a side street and hit the kill button when I could coast.

I've wondered about fly by wire on a bike. Think I trust my current cable setup on an S&S and on the Buel throtle body more.
