Since You don't do much on a bike, you can't comprehend.
That's a fabrication based on ignorance; we've never met.
Just like your opinion on motorcycle ABS.
But carry on.

^^^^ Right , I've never seen a motorcycle rider before, I don't know how the talk .
You do anything worth talking about? It hasn't happened in all the years (including MCUSA) I've been on.
I can see why you would want all the assist you can get...
It's all you have to draw on.

Have you met him in person and seen him ride?

Oh, Lou. Sweet, sweet, Lou. I feel like you are lashing out more and more, and I really don't understand what you get out of it. The fact that someone likes ABS means that he/she is a poor rider who needs "all the assist" he/she can get? What about other modern aids that also help riders remain safe? Steering dampers, traction control, modern tires, steel braided brake lines. Where do we draw the line on what level of assistance is acceptable for someone to remain eligible to be called a good/competent rider?

Ummm, You're jumping to an assumption...
That is not what I was saying.
Can't spend time on this right now...
It could be interesting if anyone would know/see, what I was saying about, developing awareness/concentration/control finesse, and using that.
I think he is pretty dead on. Still didn't answer my question I see. I wonder why?

Never met the guy; there's you answer.
Maybe he's pissed because after years of talking up about how Ebbetts Pass was THE measure of a rider, (implying it was something I couldn't handle), I finally went up there last year and rode all the passes during the Rim Fire and found them to be great but hardly something any competent rider couldn't handle.
The second time we rode Ebbetts (in the opposite direction) it was raining with ash falling down obscuring our vision, even came across a logging truck coming towards us taking up the whole road, we STILL didn't find it especially dangerous or supremely challenging.
This was on non ABS bikes mind you.
Despite the beauty and huge elevation changes I find many of the tighter, bumpier backroads in the bay area with more obstacles, (ie. numerous bicycles, hidden driveways, greater frequency of "surprise" vehicles in your lane etc.), to be more challenging.
Everyone should ride the Sierra Passes, they are indeed great, but to prove you manhood or worth as a rider?
Hardly.
How anyone forms an educated opinion about ABS and its effect on rider competence without ever having ridden an ABS bike is beyond me.

This thread is hilarious
I might be the only one laughing at the concept, at this time...
And I wonder if a time will come when, others will start laughing at what is the flaw, in computer (that isn't looking ahead) management of controls..
But I hope to see the day.

Can anyone tell me if the bike has ABS?
starting at 5:20 to 5:30 (slo-mo at 5:26ish)
you can see the front wheel lock, rear came up, then what looked like ABS kicked in and saved the day.
not sure, but it looks like ABS saved him from having a really shitty day.
if there is no ABS, then i finally seen Lou's skills in action!

START at 5:20 (the link takes you to the exact spot but embedded video doesnt)

I can't say one way or the other, but the brake light was on the whole time.

i slowed it down even more (youtube allows you to go at 1/4 speed)
and it looks like ABS is modulating the brakes.
