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.



---Sure looks "triggered", didn't it.
(did you notice the fork modulation/pulsation with the ABS? Kinda resembles hitting the brakes five times.)




Second who the neck is locking down the front brake in those very wet conditions?




---Panicked greenhorns.




I'm a 80% front brake 20% rear brake rider. In other words I rarely use the rear brake.



---Me too, except in sharp corners and on wet pavement, and in a panic stop.




However a man's gotta know his limitations and when conditions warrent more of one vs less on the other.

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.




----Yep, F.I. has been around since the 1800's, but hasn't been a great success in production vehicles until what, 1980's?




Heck I might even get one of those fancy electronic tablets.




---Nope!
