ABS and motorcycles

I was just in another discussion about ABS brakes on motorcycles. This happens every so often. This time I took 15 minutes to construct a page of URLs (links) that you may find edifying.

We each get to spend our own money as we see fit. I have had two experiences that convinced me about ABS. These links simply confirmed my decision to never again purchase a bike without it.

Best,
