I ruled out gravity it is when I am coasting going down hill so gravity would give an assist. I shall endeavour to investigate the proposals you otherwise pontificated the fortnight.

Sorry - forgot to put a smiley after the 'gravity' comment.
Have you checked your bearings? Grab the top of the front tire & pull/push. If there's any play then your bearings are bad.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.

One easy way to check if it's a brake caliper dragging is to just put a hand on each rim after driving to feel if they're warm. Even driving a block or two would probably be enough. Dragging brake pads, or a semi-locked caliper, will generate a lot of heat, and it usually doesn't take long for that heat to get transfered to an aluminum rim.

But be careful. If a caliper is dragging bad, the rim can be sizzling hot. My neighbor's rear brake caught fire because his caliper was sticking was dragging.

Thta would be a constant drag this feels more like the cruise control slowing you down when you are coasting down hill and pick up speed past where cruise is set. However it is doing this when cruise if off.

How's your idle? Once after mine did it, my idle was seeking between 200 & 1200 RPM. When I shut her down & restarted, all was fine. It's never done it since.
Gotta love those intermittent problems.
BTW, how often does yours do the slow down thinggy?
