I've been so tempted to split on 84 on my way home from work. Traffic has gotten sooo bad in pdx.

I'm 6'6 and I'm going with madstad

Richland Rick has them too. I'll be ordering from him. http://www.adventuretech.biz/yamaha-mirror-extenders.html

I really don't get the issue here... Plain and simple, if you activate abs, you would have started to lose traction without it which would increase your stopping distance. Abs tries to keep you from losing traction to have a more controlled stop. If you don't want abs to engage then don't lose traction and use proper brake control. Abs is for when you **** up. Now if you are trying to slide, then I can see why you wouldn't want abs.

I feel like people are comparing stopping distance with abs engaged, to stopping distance with perfect brake control. The real test is stopping distance when abs engages and then comparing that with stopping distance for the "same" brake pressure with no abs. This would mean skidding. See what one is shorter and safer.
