Yeah honestly I have not used a coaster brake in so long the first time I tried to adjust my self in the saddle I would prolly be annoyed with the brakes coming on. That would take me some getting used to.

That hella long skid you must have took must have been Epic! Epic Boy. lol.;)

You left out the photo of the teeth marks on the bicycle seat:D

Why aren't you guys using your choke lever on long downgrades? It does not harm the engine but might make your muffler a little dirty at the worst. The engine braking can assist with other braking power.

I used a piece of 1/4" vinyl tubing pushed onto the choke lever, and can flip it with gloves on. Some carbs have cable operated choke.

I saw a parachute somewhere actually made for bikes. It was a small one, which was only intended to create drag for excercise use. I wonder if it would do any good slowing an MB as a drag brake.

Hahhaha. Here is one on a Schwinn Krate bike. I think that looks like a disaster waiting to happen, with the floppy chute and long line. http://video.filestube.com/watch,64...le-bicycle-with-drag-chute-schwinn-krate.html

I think a drum brake in combo with rim brakes is the best idea. Good luck.
