The loss of traction isn't why you dumped the bike, it was your reaction to it. You let off the throttle when the bike was still sideways, and for that you got tossed off the high side.

I have to laugh at some who will tell you that ABS is a disadvantage because " you can't lay it down ", while that may have been true years ago when dragging your feet was almost as effective as using those old drum brakes, anyone who claims they can stop a bike faster by laying it down and sliding it on its side vs having a good set of tires gripping the road and a strong set of brakes slowing the wheels is either stoned or just plain stupid.

This is the first time someone has complained about the number of threads I have made on a subject. I didn't think there was a limit on the number of threads you can post - I though the internet was "free country" - sheesh.

Engaging with him is a total waste of time and just leads down a dark hole of nothing!

I am convinced he does not own one. All comments are very vague and general. Just inserting himself into discussions without actually adding value. The most recent pictures posted on an Alaska thread show a sign that looks exactly like one on Google and just a pair of boots. If you have a camera and do an amazing trip to Alaska would you not take a picture of yourself and your motorcycle. My BS meter has been pegged a long while with this guy. No bike pictures, no accessory or improvement posts with pictures or details, no maintenance or anything else showing he is actually a biker.

I got lots of pictures,bike, me,ol&me and. Ol at sign
I can share every trip I have been on, it will not change the dynamics between us.
You are like a black mailer too. It would never be enough.
If I didn't have a bike, why would I be posting in bike section? I could just post in cooking area, and POD.
If you want to see discussions on my bikes, you should spend time on bike sections

That’s what we have all been wondering. WHY?

I am in them everyday, an unlike you I share actual bike pictures, upgrades, rides, details and advice from experience, not just talk.
My apologies to the OP of this thread. I need to put the square on on ignore because it is a wast of time reading his crap. As I already mentioned I think your upgrade process is well thought out and you will be happy with the many improvements on the newer models.
