Exactly. My first longer ride was from Salt Lake, UT area to Winnemucca, NV for a total of something like 370 miles each way. There was a strong headwind and it was March, so it was cold and miserable on the trip out. While in Winnemucca, I bought the older style cruise control I mentioned and despite many of the same conditions on the way home, I was much happier. At the time, my bike didn't have a windshield so my arms and grip got really tired from holding on for dear life. Let's just say I learned a lot on that trip!
