ABS

[Slaninar]

You dont ever need abs IF .....

you never ride at a speed at which you cannot stop safely within your field of vision

THIS.

maybe the anti abs lobby are same folk who dont think wearing a helmet is a good idea !...FFS abs only ever intrudes if your wheels lock up. At that point you have indeed lost it and got through your so called skills list...so why knock it ??

Because of:
a) I don't like people forcing me to do something. I wear helmet because I want to be safe, not because I have to. Which means I do ride without a helmet occasionally (take it slow, real slow).

b) Because it costs. I have nothing against the ABS, on the countrary - it is very good, but I don't want the extra weight and PRICE. Can't afford it.


In 15 years of riding and driving I have always managed to do it all without the ABS, ESP and all the other expensive gizmos - just use common sense, ride as well as you can see and brake.
