cb400four: Thanks for the comments. I think you're right about the tip over switch. I watched my shadow in the video just before I came to the complete stop and could see my hand did in fact have the clutch lever pulled in.

My bike is non ABS (forgot to mention that in my first post). I was REALLY on the brakes hard. All of the posts about weak rear brakes I've seen on this forum flashed before my eyes in that moment. The road condition was good and it rained pretty hard 3 days prior so I had good traction. I have just under 2000 miles on her so her treads are still great. I'm not sure if it was just the panic of "oh cuss I'm going straight into this SUV," or if the front brakes should be better, I just remember feeling the front wheel still rolling and thinking, "why aren't you cuss stopping?"

When I watched the video back home, I seem to stop pretty quickly, but with all the adrenaline at the time, it felt like an eternity.
