As I was following a right hand curb, a blue Honda sedan that was on the left lane just merged in front of me and began breaking about four feet from me. I slammed my brakes and for the first time I felt the "pulsations" of the anti skid system (ABS) in the CB 1100. As it turned out the lady that was driving had decided to come to the right lane in order to let her "passenger" out of the car. I was forced to return home for a fresh new pair of underwear and fresh jeans. Even though the "pucker" reflex had been very strong, it was no match for the fear that I experienced. The brakes worked great! After a shower and some meditation I was good as new.
I guess the "Anti Skid System" only works for the bike and not the rider
