Last year I had been researching throttle locks for my F650 GS before going on a trip to Mexico and had run across mention of a Tilt Cruise made by a man who lived in Montreal, Quebec. I contacted Gilbert Piccard and he sent one of his throttle locks that I installed before leaving on the Mexico trip.
If you own a BMW I would recommend you check to see if he makes one for your motorcycle. As a fairly new rider I felt it was critical to get a lock that was extremely easy to turn on and off. The Tilt cruise is easy to use and looks great on my F650. Contact me if you would like Gilbert’s email.
Gilbert and I have become long distance friends. He was born in Switzerland, almost moved to the United States, but ended up in Canada. He’s been riding motorcycles since he was a young man in Switzerland and is very knowledgeable about BMW’s. When I was having stalling problems with my F650 he contacted an expert mechanic friend in Germany and got information to help me.
I sent Gilbert an email today telling him I’m considering escaping the Texas heat this summer and making a ride up for the rally. I also mentioned my interested in Newfoundland.
I got a quick response with links to Newfoundland and Quebec:

Gilbert said both provinces are very generous with their tourism information so I ordered visitor guides from their websites. Now I wait on the mail.
