Dairy,

Where'd your Uncle buy his Powurless 500? I've been looking for a machine with similar features.

* No brakes.

* Manual transmission (auxillary brakes).

* Woods touring excitement option (running thru trees w/o brakes).

You ought to have your Uncle get in touch with 870 to have the UOM (underwater operational mode) installed. Then you'd really have a fine machine there, uh I mean your Uncle will.

And yes the Automatic trans versions do engine brake, but this engine braking is not intended to be a substitute for actual brakes. LOL

In closing I cannot figure out if you are just

1. Very young.

2. Very brave.

3. Not too smart.

4. A combination of 1, 2 or 3.

5. All of 1, 2 & 3.

60 MPH WITH NO BRAKES?!?!?!?!?!?
