Hope They are both doing better today.


ABS, yes.

I has 2 rear tire blow outs in 3 days at 80 mph.
Both on relatively straight pieces of Interstate

at that speed you have a long time to think about what is going on

in the first case ( 2000 miles on tire) I could not tell if it were F or R that went as I was busy trying to stay upright and not get pegged by traffic- I really could not feel which was the problem as I eased on the F and R brakes ( clutch pulled)- as when I went on the front brake the bike would go sideways,

I was able to get the 4 ways on and my Pal got behind me, blocking traffic while I worked to the shoulder.

3 days later same thing ( faulty new tire install, about 600 miles on it)- and since i had rehearsed I was in better shape to handle it.

ABS would have allowed me to slow and stop much quicker and safer.

Hope he comes out ok. As far as ABS,if it could save your life why not get it if you can. Myself I will never buy another bike without it.

As for ABS, I don't care what the resident experts have to say, Iam glad I have it and will never have another scoot without it.

need to add, I've been looking at my 12K mile tires, tread looks okay, and this post has made up my mind. Going with the stock 402's

 

In our prayers on this Easter Sunday.

+1 on ABS

 

Sorry to hear about your friends. Hope they are doing better.

I had a close call last week with the front brake locking and the bike going down. I released the front brake and it came back up in time to steer around the stalled car in front of me. I stated in a separate thread how I am regretting not getting the ABS. Hoping for a quick recovery for your friend.

 

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery for your friend and his passenger.

 

My prayers for the family are sent and will be till all is well.
