Youre first sentence says it all. I was driving in MIAMI. Post is a year old and still getting hits cool

 

The most important part is your still alive and can learn from it.

 

another thing to take into account is harley is now useingthe same compound front and rear, , where pre 99 used a different compound on the rear (softer) making it harder to lock the rear brake, the rear will come around on you in a heavy front panic stop too, once that rear wheel get unloaded, its going the path of least resitance, we could concider rear steer also, as you lay into the rear brake it will pull the rubber mounts causeing the rear of the bike to change direction. these are just some of my thoughts

 

I love my 08 the abs works awsome....i has come on a few times and it is so controlable i feel 100% confident on it
