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.

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.

RDRS is not a silver bullet.
