[url=http://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/what-virginia-tech-learned-about-how-and-why-we-crash-our-motorcycles]Another study on what causes accidents. Rider behavior rather than any kind of technology is emphasized here.
Mr. Oliver's commentary is brief but seems to reflect the findings of the .pdf file of the complete report. I could find no material on ABS or other electronic aids but admit not reading the entire thing, just the conclusions and a review of the protocol and the data tables.
To sum it up, we are our own worst enemy. Really.
Haven't looked at it yet, but is it a surprise?

It doesn't say a darn thing.
Also did not read all that.....
The one thing i recommend other than pretending your invisible is practicing panic breaking over and over instead of waiting for that day you see how you do when it is for real ?
also maneuverability when i have no one around me I all of a sudden focus on and whip around any seen or perceived object of pot hole in the road and shoot from one side of the road to the other , this has saved my life many times when i needed it.
also stability and balance at every red light or stop sign i try to balance the bike at very low speed and quick stops without the need to put my food down , inch forward etc. took 1000 miles to really get glued into this new CB.
the list goes on and on and i may never need ABS with such great brakes but it gives me peace of mind knowing it is there.

Absolutely. Where I live seems motorists provide "live fire training" more often than I would like.
motorists provide "live fire training"
man, how true is that statement!
