 don't think ABS would have made any difference, most ABS systems come in far
too early for maximum breaking.  They appear to be comming over a blind crest.
Then realising they 30 ft to stop. It's the Harley I like. It just plows
straight on regardless. One of my friends has a GS with ABS. I can show you
the skid marks where the front tyre went sideways. Quite a mess.
