That article applies, IF YOU'RE RIDING MOTORCYCLES. Cars are different. The physics are different.
The engine braking effect on a motorcycle is VASTLY different than a car.

I practice “The Pace” all the time in my Spyder. Pick an appropriate gear, choose a speed, and try to maintain it. The Pace* isn’t about racing, it’s about pleasurable street riding/driving. (It’s right in the title: “Separating street from track, riding from racing .”) Maintaining +5 on a mountain road using only the steering wheel and the accelerator is a quite entertaining endeavor IMO.

True, compression braking is less effective in a car, but it’s still there, especially going up hill, which is where I do most of my pleasure driving.

*I was lucky enough to get Nick Ienatsch as my instructor when I took a riding school at LVMS. Very intelligent, very personable. Great instructor. I’m sure his book saved my life at least 3-4 times.
