I'm 64 y/o, my hands and wrists like a little break now and then. Had it installed on my old Kawasaki Nomad, it came with my new Street Glide. Love it.

Electronic CC on the RG. I use it all the time. I like to set it just one or two km/hr under the speed where I think I'll get a ticket. You can fine tune your speed in 1 km/hr increments buy just touching the accel or coast switch for an instant. The have it really well thought out. You can kill the cruise by simply twisting the throttle back, no need to touch the brakes. Course, if you touch either brake or the clutch it also kills the cruise.

I really like the cruise, it's always on on my scooter. (even if it is an ugly RG)

I use it on long open roads. I have had throttle lock on previous bikes and didnt feel very safe using it. I have the factory cc on my SG and I really like it

Use it all the time on long rides when the road and traffic permit.

I use mine a lot on the highway... I tend to get going too fast if I am on the highway a bit. It keeps me out of tickets.

My '07 Ultra is the first bike in my life with cruise control. I ride 100 miles round trip to/from work mainly on freeways (not a lot of traffic). Use it all the time...love it...can't imagine owning a bike without it now.
