David,

When Ras Bulli Split ('66 Westy) and I made our last cross country trip (many, many years ago), cruise control was supplied by Victoriaville ... if I remember correctly, it was the top shaft from one of my old goalie sticks.   Inserted between the bench and the pedal, it kept Ras Bulli at a "comfortable" 50mph on level ground ;)
