My name is Curtis. I was born in Germany,

and have been a long time resident of

Arlington Texas.My father was a mechanical

engineer who owned his own machine shop

and was a true motorcycle enthusiast.

  

  My father passed his passion for motorcycles

and mechanical design on to me. Although

I am a media specialist by trade, I get a large

charge out of inventing and motorcycles. I

have been on just about every type of bike

you can think of. Currently I am riding a

VTX 1800, which has been the best ride yet.

    While searching for a cruise control,

I noticed a gap between the mechanical

and electronic models available. I needed

something safe, completely passive, and

easy on the eyes.  Nothing in the current

aftermarket met my expectations. So I

designed and built the MagnaCruise.

  I guess it is true that “Necessity is the

mother of invention.” I began developing the

idea of using magnetic force to create enough

resistance to control the throttle. After much

thought and effort, I finally developed a working prototype. Then the testing began. I was impressed with how well it worked. This led

to numerous improvements and refinements.

The MagnaCruise unit displayed  on this web

site is the finished model.
