I've got abs on my beemer, it eats shit. Don't ever go off road & think you can stop in a hurry, it won't happen. Don't ever ride over bad pavement & think you can stop in a hurry, it won't happen. Don't ever ride over railroad tracks & think you can stop in a hurry, it won't happen. The shit doesn't work well enough to justify having it on a bike & I don't like it any fucking better on a car. Unless it's perfect condition on the road surface it just simply is a liability to control of the vehicle. If you simply slam on your brakes for any event you need abs otherwise no way. Oh yeah it's disabled on the beemer now.

still alive and still riding for 45 years without abs.
i heard the exact same logic from a guy at a bar once, talking about driving drunk. since he'd been doing it for some 40 years or more without dying, he just didn't see an issue.
shawnski, i know what you're saying and all, but your rationale is completely broken. I think there are much stronger arguments "against" abs than that.
