Pilot Posted November 23, 2007 Share #2 Posted November 23, 2007 I went on big boat ride a few years ago, they must have cruise installed on it some where otherwise why would they call it a cruise. And it was in the water.:rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarges46 Posted November 25, 2007 Share #6 Posted November 25, 2007 Dont know about bikes having this problem but.....a co-worker a couple of years ago had her cruise set on her car. Winter time going up hill car slowed as one would expect and cruise accelerated as one would expect and the tires didnt hold as one would expect! She ended up...upside down in the ditch! Didnt get hurt but sure did in her car and scared the poop outta her! Bike might do that if it suddenly slows in water...rear tire might slip in the water sending bike aswerving....waddya thing?

hipshot Posted November 25, 2007 Share #7 Posted November 25, 2007 cruise is set! bike hits a wet patch /icy patch , of road. rear wheel breaks traction, rear wheel accelerates dramatically, regains traction, at 100 m.p.h., =instant tragedy!
