I like the idea when they work but when they don't they cause the very problem they are intended to prevent. I have to have my Blazer looked at now for the very problem I am describing. The pump activates without my applying any brake at all, I can hear it run. Then if I apply the brake it prevents me from applying any brake to the wheel at all so I force the pedal down hard and I get some brake then the pump stops and the wheels lock. I had a Silverado that did the same thing and my friend has an F150 that is doing it too. Once I never hear of that problem again I'll go for it on a bike but as of now I wouldn't buy a bike with ABS unless I disable it. I have bypassed it on other vehicles, so many I have lost count for the same problem, the cheapest fix is a bypass. Not to mention I have purposely locked my rear brake to power slide in an emergency situation to avoid an object. If I was not able to slide the back end I would have hit them. A car once and a large bird another time, those 2 pop right to mind. ABS, no thanks.
