Yeah, it did.  Just took a little hop thru the countryside and boy was it fun.  I was a little 'shakey' in the turns when I started thinking about all that countersteering stuff, but I think I'll be alright.  (well, maybe not 'alright', but you know what I mean)     har.  spyder

:huepfenjump3:That's because you don't try and discern the difference between 75% and 80% front brake

If you have pressure on you front break and you run over any small object, your front tire will lock.  If you are going straight so what.  If you are in a turn (slow or fast) watch out.  When the locked front tire comes back to the pavement.  You will come straight up and many time over.  So fast.  Well lets say it might hurt a little.  The front break as everyone knows has the best stopping power, however in a turn one should keep there hand well away from that leaver.

I fully agree with this conclusion however ABS brakes does change the "formula" since you're simply not going to lock that front wheel at anything other than very slow speeds.
