Spring's here, time to die

Yup...

He aint dumb, just a little "uninformed" in this case.

Oh Dan....

Been a long time since a woman has said that to him.

I guess. It does actually help to read before reviewing...

Hmmm? What am I missing?

Inform me.

Edit: Ed originally said that 'racers prefer ABS'. I hope all y'all aren't facepalming and congratulating yourselves over my fallibility because you think I missed the fact that Mr Code said that their learner riders fall off less with ABS.

Edit edit: Yes, if you're doing the California Superbike School, you count as a learner rider. It's not meant as some sort of put-down. I'd love to do it myself some time.

Shhh. Don't disturb me. I'm still reading that post over and over, imagining the voice in my mind.

[FJRider]

... So. Back to my question - got any quotes from racers who like ABS?

An old article ... but interesting reading ...

Helen seems to have stepped away from the keyboard - can you point out what I missed, Ed?

Srsly, I'm not sure what yous fullas are getting at here.

[GTRMAN]

Is that like the reset button on a Playstation game?

Hmmm... No.

Keith Code - former motorcycle RACER? (wild stab in the dark)

[Katman]

Neither are from a racer.

Just another fine example of Ed's idea of 'research'.

Yes, but more particularly, that was Keith Code saying that his learner riders fall off less on bikes with ABS.

I don't equate that to "a racer preferring ABS".

Fair point. Thats all I've got, cant be arsed reading the articles.

I did in fact read them carefully all the way through.

I read fast.

*sigh*

It does get lonely sometimes, though. Being right all the time, but having no friends.

What do you define as a learner rider? Choppa #3 in NZSBK did CSBKS. I guess he was and possibly still is learning racecraft, but until you are close to WSBK/MotoGP Champ, is everyone still learning things?

When I did CSBKS (I'm definitely still learning, but a learner rider?), they told me Leon Camier was still actively taking advice from CSBKS - is he still a learner rider?

Not that this has anything to do with ABS. Just being pedantic LOL

Choppa's rise has been pretty stunning. How long ago was he going out in learner groups at trackdays? 5 years ago, if even that? Wish I had that sort of talent (and budget *cough*)

No, no, I agree, good point. But still - I wasn't wanting to know whether ABS reduced the frequency of bins during rider training days, even if they were high-level rider training days.

I was asking Ed to back up his claim that racers preferred ABS.

Get Sloan on here saying he'd rather ride a bike with ABS and I'll consider that point made. But up until now we've only had red herrings.
