Throttle control device

In combination, a frame member having a throttle handle of a type having an elongated handle member having a substantially circular portion thereon and rotatable about a longitudinal axis, said handle member being biased to an idle position and rotatable to accelerated positiones, and a brake lever connected to and extending from said frame member adjacent to said throttle handle, the improvement comprising:

• a first member having a first end and a second end;
• a second member having a first end and a second end;
• means for pivotally attaching the first ends of said first and second members with respect to each other;
• means selectively connecting said second ends together whereby a throttle handle member disposed between the first ends of said first and second members will be frictionally engaged;
• and
• means provided on one of said first and second members for selectively contacting said brake lever thereby neutralizing the bias on said throttle handle and holding said throttle handle in a desired position while at the same time permitting a motorcycle operator to rotate the throttle handle further towards the idle position if desired by manually applying a rotating force great enough to overcome the frictional contact between the first and second members and the throttle handle.
