That's really weird that you say that. I think that has happened to me once in my car. I was coming up to a junction slowing down from about 40mph and applied the brakes (relatively gently) and felt slight vibration and got barely any braking. I thought I was going to fly out into the high speed traffic road up ahead. After that I pulled over, inspected the brakes and tyres and inspected the road. Couldn't see any issues. Maybe my ABS played up. The road was a little bit bumpy. It was country roads.
I definitely rather have no ABS than bad ABS.
Given the option no ABS or good ABS, I definitely go for the latter (car and bike).
