Well, you are in for a real surprise some day--when the brakes fail as you are approaching a stop sign, or traffic signal, with that load in yer wagon! You'll think there is something pushing you faster and faster, especially when there is traffic on the cross street! Better practice down-shifting on a day when you aren't driving a loaded wagon! Its really not all that tough to do---A bit of practice will help immensely! Here's what to do--on level ground, at slow speed, try taking the machine out of gear--, using the clutch. Then leave out the clutch, apply a bit of gas with the gas pedal or throttle, then push in the clutch, and down shift to the next lower gear. Then let out the clutch, and it will slow down. This has to be done fairly quickly, so practice it until you can do it any time! I learned it when i was 17 years old, so you should be able to do it! Might save you from being plastered on the front of an 18-wheeler!

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
