I don't really WANT to have to buy something to help with throttle when I have a freakin' cruise control, but unless I take the lead and then listen to hubby complain about my every move, the best bet is for me to stay in the rear. Yes, he's a control freak, but then that's what we AF people tend to be, right?

Thanks for the morning smile . And thank you so very much for your service to our country. That's from a Retired Major/former Sgt and proud father of an active duty TSgt.
Maybe try a pair of vented and slightly padded riding gloves. Here is another suggestion--a Spyder for your man.

Get the equivalent of the Kuryakyn Throttle Boss!
Most MC dealers and shops carry generic models that will fit "most" brands

Soooo the question is, how do you keep your hand from hurting on long rides when not using cruise? We rode 4 hours total the other day - which wasn't a problem, except toward the end I started having trouble with my hand getting tired. I was fidgeting a bit due to back issues too - but that's another story. I'm working that one out and have an idea how to fix that. But the hand - I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

Exactly. It's time for you to ride in front.

I'm joining this conversation a little late but I just returned from Spyderfest. I led, using my cruise control, and was followed by a Spyder RS (no cruise) and my husband on a Honda ST1300 (no cruise) If you've got the cruise you should be the leader!!!

Or if he has the GPS and you don't, then just set the cruise at an average speed and let yourself fall back or gain on him automatically until he gets the hint and maintains a constant speed.
