The one thing that I dislike about my '03.
I know ABS vs. non-ABS has been debated to death, but I wish I had it.
I'm glad you had it when needed, Barb.

I expected this kind of kinky sex talk from exskibum Rich, but certainly never from you Dudewado!!

ABS is a safety system that one may never need but if you have it and it saves your bacon you'll appreciate it. Just last week I did an aborted pass...long story but the basics are I'm passing a pickup truck closely following a tractor trailor on a two lane road. The passing lane was clear but needed a fast pass before the next turn. So I hit the throttle and the FJR in seconds is doing what I want and I'm on my way...then I see a left turn signal on the pickup truck, I see a dirt road turn off not too far ahead. So I aborted at about 90 MPH I slammed the brakes to stop before the turn off. Felt ABS kicking in and had a nice smooth very efficient stop and let the truck turn left in front of me. That's the 2nd time ABS has saved my butt and I prefer having it. But I still own and operate other bikes that don't have it. I'm ok with that but ABS has probably saved many lives in cars and motorcycles.

All But SanityYouse ABS guys are so lucky. I wish I could be as safe as y'all.
But I am not.... I am continuing to live on the Edge of Death.
FJR1300: non-ABS, non-LBS.... Hayabusa: non-ABS, non-LBS...
It's a wonder I am alive, riding about 45,000 miles a year through intense deer/elk/moose/bear country... on these death-trap bikes with no ABS to save me.

What sucks is the FZ1 & 6 has ABS in Europe but not here - however the 1 does have the same size rotor as our Feejeers so it can stop quicker being a lighter bike.
On another note after reading a post about our ABS, it may be a good idea to cycle the abs pump often(gravel roads work good for this) just to keep the unit working properly.

One time, Patch and I were watching TV and one of those "Natural Male Enhancement" commercials came on.
About half way through, Patch looks at me and blurts out, "Natural male enhancement?? You show me a naked pair of ****s, and I'll show you some natural male enhancement!"
Truer words were never spoken!
