I have been there a few times. You can do this with any car(in the past) but if you want to engine brake down a large grade it better be fuel injected. Engine braking with a carburetor is gonna blow your exhaust up as soon as you turn the ignition on. Also engine braking will retain your power brakes whether they are vacuum or hydraulic.

Most new cars are so faggoty you can't even do any of this.

I've rolled into gas stations before after running out of gas. Pretty awesome feeling of relief. This was all moreso when I was younger and broke, only buying gas as needed.

What do you like about the TW200? I looked it up and it seems pretty cool. As I said earlier I don't trust myself on a powerful street bike but I'm cool with something like that. I've had my eye on a KTM Duke. Rocked a Honda Ruckus for awhile.

Factoid: A standard large pizza box will wedge perfectly in the floor pan of a Ruckus.

Funny you say the ruckus. I had an ex-hippie professor back in the day who used to talk about exactly how much beer or whatever his ruckus could haul. I watched a video recently of 2 guys who took them across some long rocky mountain trail. You can have fun on anything, I guess.

The TW (T-dub) is just an indestructible little tractor. It's actually sold by yamaha as an agricultural machine. At my weight, I could gear it a little taller to easily maintain 65mph on the highway without losing the low end since 1st is sooo low. Those fat tires kill in sandy creek bottoms and make it pretty sweet in the twisties (for what it is). You wanna turn it around, pop the clutch and pull it around. The TW is both retarded and retardedly fun. I feel it would keep me safer than other dual sports.

I've ridden big bikes like the xr650, so I have no problem with a tall bike. My current bike has rear drive (duh) and also sidecar drive making it super fun in the snow. It's a blast on gravel and hills and mild offroading. Plus, i can take the dog or my whole family on it.
