That video is exactly what happens. I watched a real enactment of it while following my son on the 4 lane at 60MPH. It was as if he was on ice. There was noting to do but watch it wash out from under him. (He is ok now 4 months later.) Brain function is back in the 90% area and 8 broken bones healed or healing.
It's amazing the actions taken by those bikes in the video are exactly the same actions taken by my son. Its like watching the accident all over again.
I am an ABS believer. I will not buy another motorcycle that does not have ABS. To me, its not worth the risk when you have a choice. Yes I still ride my non-ABS bikes, just won't invest again without that technology. We have it and it should be on all cruisers. IMHO
Friar was a very good rider, I suspect he may have washed his bike out too. We will never know about that one. That is the problem with one bike accidents. Can you prove it would not have happened with ABS.
I think some things we just have to be able to intellectualize.
Dog, how many failures of ABS cause accidents? You live and tow in snowy PA. You know ABS works.
