Practice emergency braking with ABS

All my previous bikes were non ABS. I normally practice going 35-40mph in large empty mall parking lots at night.

I realized with ABS, you can just grab! Instead of squeezing progressively. I'm sold! Of course I still squeeze instead of grab.

I'm glad I started my riding career w/o ABS. it does give me more confidence. But I would never trade braking skills for ABS.

I was able to lift the rear tire up pretty easily. And I do think the bike will endo if one didn't modulate braking force.

But it's definitely a good safety equipment to have IMHO.

It won't save you on corners. But I can see how this would be extremely beneficial if I had to slam on the brakes while on a straight road during a rainy day.
