Easy,

As always, you are right on the mark. It's not like I'm completely starting over, but it's a hell of a lot more challenging than riding the GZ. Quick question: What is the recommended stop/start sequence on one of these beasts when pulling, UPHILL, up to a stop sign, on a pretty decent grade? (meaning, your ass will roll down the hill backwards if you are not firmly on the brakes.)

Followup question: Same scenario, but now you are heading back DOWN the hill.

All comments, taunts and snide remarks are welcome!
