I love and need my throttle. It has moved me out of the way of autos that might have hit me several times. Once when someone right hooked me I was able to turn hard right with the throttle and he missed me. I could not have stopped in time. I don't use the throttle to actually ride, I have PAS and it is more comfortable than holding down something with my thumb. But throttles are excellent and necessary emergency devices!!! They can take my throttle over my dead body, lol. If people are speeding with throttles the issue is controlling the speed limit of the bike or controlling the rider's choices, not taking away a throttle.
