Re: [ST] RE: Brett - been there







Unlike a car equiped with ABS you can't turn a bike to avoid something.
The front end just washed out sideways.

Interesting, based on the fact that BMW's have the Telelever frontends, they are a different animal when turning and braking at the same time. Braking while turning is one of the major advantages of the Telelever design.
The incident sounds like one of the seldom but heard of brake malfunctins that have happened, rather than a common occurance.
