rare and extreme exceptions
I live in a very hilly area 15 miles from a ski area with many steep curves and I can not think of one corner I would coast though.
However: there is one road I drove down in a car that I was on the breaks the whole way down, I think I would have done the same on a bike but IDK. Anyone go down this road on a bike?

Super fun. And of course I had perfect throttle control all the way down, rolling on the gas and all.. lol! Actually I think I was on the brakes the entire way down as there was a non stop line up of cars.

Fun for pics. Not so fun for riding. It's almost always packed, so you're trying to keep upright at a walking pace while taking full lock corners downhill.

I'm now thinking about the -- recently popularized by vloggers -- sport of down-hill, super-sport, neutral races!
Link to original page on YouTube. Quote:
1. you can accelerate even harder through the turn as to transfer the proper amount of force away from the front tyre and onto the rear tyre. 2. so that your entry speed is slower than for the same corner on a flat, as to account for the fact that the bike will accelerate through the turn much quicker than on a flat: the pull of gravity + the additional acceleration generated from point 1.) (obviously I'm talking about riding close to the traction limit. If you're puttering through a turn well within the traction limit, you can bounce up and down on the suspension springs, joyfully saying "boing boing boing" in your helmet, while simultaneously chirping the brakes... and you'll maintain traction, or at least get it back almost as quick as you loose it.) Does my reasoning hold-up?

Hmm. I thought the gears were dipped-in-oil splash-fed.

Akima, It's the internet and I'm just another poster. There's as good a chance that I'm wrong as there is that I'm right.
I remember there was a post a year or two ago that talked about towing a motorcycle with the rear wheel rolling on the ground, and there was a very similar discussion to this one. Consensus was to not roll the back wheel like that without the engine running, even in neutral. I bet once or twice doesn't hurt anything. I'd rather not do it regularly though; not something I'd do every ride on hills. |

^ you're not just another person on the internet. You're an engineer who has successfully changed a carb-ninjette into a fi-ninjette. I defer to your better judgement
Also: you're the 3rd person on the internet I asked. I asked these guys and they came up blank: confused-cat.jpg

Lol. It was a kit. The impressive one is Greg737. He did his fuel injection setup from scratch.

And Keith Code developed the concept of the No Brakes exercises when he used to have coasting races with his friends many moons ago. The idea of racing in neutral is no new concept....and it's a great way to get a real grasp of perception of speed when you aren't using any form of brakes.
