It is exactly that.

Being in northern Florida, you can't get much of anyplace without going through mountains, or hills or whatever you call roads that are crooked and not flat.

Those of us that live in or near the "great plains", however, can set our "sticky throttle" on 60 mph and cruise litterally for HOURS without touching it except for a slight creep toward the closed position.

And, finally, except for the Goldwings and a few select other large touring bikes, ALL of the devices advertised as a "cruise control" are really just sticky throttles; many taking more conscious effort to "disengage" than a simple friction ring.
