[QUOTE="stose85, post: 1320117, member: 89315"] I found myself stopping much faster, with a lot more confidence now that I have ABS and the FJR. I've been in the "oh shit" situations as some of you mentioned above. I always tried to let off, and reapply the brakes. I never went down by braking hard, but I did end up sideways in my lane when my rear wheel tracked all the way around. On my V-star my wife's butt came off the seat and I again stopped the bike at an angle (after the rear started working its way around). Mr. Cager ran a stop sign and then stopped in the middle of the road when he realized we were about to say hello [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/arrowheadsmiley.png[/IMG] . You can stop with a locked up rear, but not a locked up front end. Traction control and ABS are great things to have on a bike. I doubt I will ever go back to a non-ABS bike. [/QUOTE]
