I think you are lying to yourself.
Again I am not against more tools in the toolbox. But I suspect you have not learned anything, and will put yourself in bad situations because you think traction control will help. It has helped people, but there is no guarantee it would have helped you. You are the one with the grips in your hands, if you would have reacted bad, it still might have went bad. Its not auto pilot.
Being afraid of your bike is not going to help in the long run.
Because I like to spend as much time as I can on 2 wheels.

It can happen again if you didn't learn your lesson.
I am not againt this, people make mistakes, things happen fast. I am just against the idea that this is a cure all. Plus I wouldn't trust harley to build an anvil.

If the inertia of the motorcycle exceeds the traction of the tires, especially on a slippery road surface, the bike is going to slide whether it has RDRS or not. You go into a turn too fast and hit sand, oil, or anti freeze, the bike is going down, especially since traction control won't allow you to drift the bike through the turn. RDRS is not a silver bullet.
