I am totally pro ABS, although my current bike doesn't have it (Harley Davidson doesn't seem to be that advanced, at least not for the Sportster).SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-59760271021709023742012-08-16T15:31:33.931-04:002012-08-16T15:31:33.931-04:00Excellent pic, very cool.Excellent pic, very cool.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048736059922578612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-33162603874865487272012-08-16T12:00:47.233-04:002012-08-16T12:00:47.233-04:00Lori

I've have only ridden a bike with it once and fortunately didn't have an opportunity to test it. It is the one feature that could convince me to get a new bike. Slippery conditions seem to be common with water, mud, gravel & sand. But I would want to be able to turn it off if desired, I don't care how perfect the manufacturer claims there system is.RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-43931702590581419852012-08-16T10:55:10.835-04:002012-08-16T10:55:10.835-04:00Lori:

You can't always get the braking proportions right when you use your brakes manually and sometimes the road is wet or slippery, or you don't notice the sand. Also in a panic situation you don't have time to think.<br /><br />ABS can also be turned off, through aftermarket accessories. With the V-strom I can buy the ABS switch from Eastern Beaver and you can turn if off when off pavement. ABS is becoming standard equipment on new bikes now<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Riding the Wet Coast</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14805736@N04/" rel="nofollow">My Flickr</a> // <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/bobskoot" rel="nofollow">My YouTube</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-14741713170099900732012-08-16T06:54:54.600-04:002012-08-16T06:54:54.600-04:00Hi Trobairitz.

Oilburner just laughs and laughs.<br /><br />I've half listened to the debates on ABS in group discussions. People are either for or against. I know people that waited months for a bike, specifically ordering one without ABS. Others would never ride one without it. I was concerned getting a bike with it when I read some stories of low speed, damaging crashes because the ABS kicked in at 5 mph. I'm like you. I think mine has kicked in once, but right now I wouldn't necessarily know what it felt like if it did.BeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-68555560326526121412012-08-16T06:49:28.817-04:002012-08-16T06:49:28.817-04:00Oilburner has been laughing all night.

I know hubby can stop in less distance on his Tiger than one equipped with ABS, or so they told him in his Team Oregon braking clinic.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364903049017493756.post-6567200717471477912012-08-15T22:16:49.676-04:002012-08-15T22:16:49.676-04:00That is sooooo funny!
