    I'm pretty pleased with it. Maybe I could actually stop quicker without it on a good dry surface , but I doubt it.

    What I am sure of is that it is excellent if I have to brake hard in the wet or on a bad surface.Yes I do know how to emergency brake under those conditions.But having ABS to take care of it means that it is one less thing I have to worry about, and that much more asttention to devote to other things such as avoidance, assessment etc.

    hmm - I could help... for about $40!

    A timing circuit, transformer and a couple of wires placed on your hands (probably your forearms...)

    now... how hard did you want to squeeze (I can help put the brakes FULL ON about 100,000 times a second if you wanted...)

    No promises you'll like me at the end of it though...

    $2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details

    Can the electrodes be relocated?
    Just curious.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Try riding a road bike on ice?
    It’s been a few years (to many), use to commute to work on a GT250L in Dunedin.
    Have you tried snow yet
