ABS... what I don't work on with my weight machine.
ABS... prevents the cool rear wheel skid a foot from your friends(before you high-side and take them out like bowling pins)

Geez I almost did that once in North Carolina riding with my son, nephew and 3 Canadian friends of my nephew I had never ridden with before. I was following a couple of the Canadians when a dog appeared about 20 yards off the side of the road. He was far enough away that i assumed everyone was just going to keep on going, but the Canadians in front of me slammed on their abs equipped Beemers and stopped, just as I accelerated. Damn...slam on my non abs equipped Triumph brake, do the back end kick out slide, and right before smacking into the back of them I let off the rear brake and gassed it hard which shot me out to the left and around them. It was close. If I have stayed on the brakes I'd have bowling pinned them. Of course my son and nephew that I normally ride with had just kept on going when they saw the dog like we would normally have done. Riding with strangers...
should have known better
