Is there a case for ABS working in reverse or being counter-productive I wonder?
For example it might be similar to an extra 40hp at the back wheel. The rider then adjusts to that and consequently, his overall speed and also risk taking capabilities go UP. His overall skill levels may remain the same or even go down in the new scheme of things.
So having ABS may give one the feeling that OK, pushing it harder will be OK because ABS is there to bail out therefore the reverse happens and the results can be more death defying stupidity.
Perhaps someone who already has ABS can comment.
I know that if on a particular stretch of road that if I am going too fast and REALLY need ABS to get around a corner, I should not have been traveling at that speed in the first place. However, everyone makes mistakes right?
