Inclines and engine braking
I usually ride my motorcycle so I haven't noticed too much until last week. But if you don't shift into neutral either coming to a stop or going down an incline (even fairly low grade) you're engine braking. I started shifting into neutral and found that 95% of the time going down an incline I was either staying at the same speed (low grade inclines) or I was actually speeding up, while in neutral. Suggest to anyone new that you start doing this, even coming up to stops you can coast quite far in neutral.
