I can understand that. Whenever I hear the sound of howling tires get close, I usually step out of the way myself. :-) :-)

You dont need anti-lock brakes to be able to brake, swerve and steer at the same time.
Besides, I think anti lock brakes on a motorcycle is an extremely poor idea.
There are many times you do not want equal braking between the front and rear and there are times when braking on only one wheel is preferable.

Does anti-lock brakes always mean the front and rear brakes are coupled?Originally posted by earlfor
Couldn't the front and rear brakes be independant yet each have an anti-lock system?Comment

As far as I know, all motorcycles with anti lock braking systems have both wheels coupled together. You cannot brake on a single wheel.

Glad to hear that you came out alright from the deer scare, rvj.
My closest call on a bike with wildlife was two big black dogs running loose on the highway at night. I (barely) saw their silhouette against the intersection a quarter mile beyond. I slowed and safely dodged the dogs but the car behind me nailed one and clipped the other on the nose. I don't think I'll ever forget that sound. The poor old woman was pretty shaken. She thought she had hit someone who fell off my bike. Fortunately, I was alone.
Thought I'd throw that one in.Comment

THANKS, i IMAGINE HITTING 1-2 DOGS WOULD BE A CATASTROPHy also. Even though it wasn't that close I was still shaking thinking about it. 20 years ago I probably would not have slowed down and been in big trouble. but I'm getting wiser if not safer with age,Originally posted by mopolopoComment

Discovered something interesting about wildlife ...
Camels are even sillier than deer. We had a camel on one side of the road while the rest of her herd/pack (whatever) was on the other side of the road. Lane, whatever. Anyway, convoy of LARGE trucks is going by and this camel decides she had had ENOUGH of waiting ... walked right into the road and started attacking one of our trucks ...Comment

Yes, Jethro, that avatar is me behind a machine gun. It's not a howitzer, it's just a 50cal. On top of my truck, not a tank.

Wow, cool pic! I guess it's obvious I don't know much about guns, I bought mine at Wal-Mart and use it to shoot red squirrels...Yes, Jethro, that avatar is me behind a machine gun. It's not a howitzer, it's just a 50cal. On top of my truck, not a tank.Currently bikeless

And thanks. You can probably guess where that one was taken. :PComment
