I had owned a '92 Gold Wing and that beast had a shut off for the cruise control if you leaned the bike over too far in a turn.
I remember one time it cancelled the cruise in long banking turn and a semi was coming at me in the other lane......I did not like that at all.

Consider this: the jar of the bump simultaneously forcing/rolling your throttle hand forward, unnoticed by the rider, there by shutting down the cruise control. Especially easy to do with TBW. It's happened to me running over the frost heaves in the highways here in Michigan.

I was coming home from work this afternoon going 75 in 6th gear. The cruise control was set. I hit a pothole (not huge) and the cruise control turned off. I pushed resume and I was back up to 75, so I suspect there's no serious problem.
I had not experienced this before and was just wondering if others had the same thing happen to them.

The bump made my hand on the grip roll forward, obviously just enough to trigger the "throttle rollback" sensor, which cuts off cruise.
