You don’t have a parking brake? On the Limited, if in gear with the clutch pulled, squeezing the front brake handle or pressing the rear brake will lock the brake if you’re on a hill. Useful at times.

No hill assist on mine. But I usually ride solo.

The travel brochures mentioned wildlife along the highway but I had no idea there were free range Canadians.
