I'll keep that in mind. I expect it will take a while to get used to having the ABS.

don't you get an insurance discount if you buy a bike with ABS? Depending on bike I heard it would be quite a difference in price.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

I rode a Rockster for the first time a couple of weeks ago and that linked brake system gave me the willies. Probably because I'm an old geezer rider that expects brakes to work a certain way. I could probably get used to it.

Overall, I probably wouldn't pay extra for ABS. I like my bikes simple. The more gizmos you have, the more opportunity for something to break (brake? :laughing: ).
