They really need to start having a snow mode for car ABS...

I'm guessing you have an open diff and the TC simulates an LSD by applying brake to the slipping wheel... Would be interesting to compare with a mechanical LSD.

What is it about driving that turns ordinary people into psychopaths?

ABS isn't there to reduce braking distance, and on a loose surface it will in fact increase it. The advantage is that you don't worry about lockup. https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/motorvehiclesafety/tp-tp13082-abs2_e-215.htm

When I started out I routinely practiced emergency braking and locked either brake to get accustomed to the feel of it. You can lock the rear from accidentally dumping the clutch in the wet and abs won't help you there. Now I routinely lock my rear on purpose when making really tight...

Never owned a bike with abs tc etc, but I definitely don't like the technology in cars. I think it's useful for operators that have never explored the limits of their vehicles and quite frankly aren't that skilled. As an enthusiast, I don't want something between me and the controls, changing...

One guy once told me he felt more manly riding a harley.

Yeah but haven't you heard? You'll be getting sexual favors from random women in the lambo which should make the commute more bearable!

Decided to ride today and low-sided a block from my house LOL. It seems there was a thin layer frost on the road... The sun hadn't hit that section yet and it felt slippery even to my boots after I got up. Luckily I didn't break anything...

Perhaps cruisers aren't urging you to do anything wild. On a sport bike it's impossible to resist :)

Too bad the Honda production racers don't seem to be doing so well... I was excited when I heard Stoner was putting out competitive laps on them but I guess he'd get pole position riding a donkey....

Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!! LOL at Einstein being uneducated.

After he crossed the intersection it looked like he was leaning right to avoid the cars but still going straight.. how is that possible?

The number of commercials on speed is criminal. Not even product commercials, just for their other shows.
