After watching the vid I have two questions. Did it seem that the rider shifted his weight on the non abs machine a bit contributing to the wash out? Slow it down and watch it closely several times. Second who the neck is locking down the front brake in those very wet conditions?
I'm a 80% front brake 20% rear brake rider. In other words I rarely use the rear brake. However a man's gotta know his limitations and when conditions warrent more of one vs less on the other. I've had conversations with riders who stated . "Man I never use the front brake" mostly cruisers.
ABS? I'm still on the fence, it's a great concept but I like to be in control. It's fairly new technology for bikes and will one day be the norm and I will most likely come around to the Idea just like fuel injection. Heck I might even get one of those fancy electronic tablets. Oh that's right I've got the Kindle Fire I'm composing this post on.
