The ABS makes it kinda' tough to get the prerequisit rear wheel skid going but I discovered if I just tromp it all the way down to first and dump the clutch the ass-end would lock up just fine, then it's just kick 'er out, climb up on the tank and air cleaner cover and road-surf your way to safety just like normal..... I still try to jump off and jog along with the bike as she slows to a stop..gets the gals a-swoonin' if ya' know what I mean (wink wink nudge nudge)..

It's About Time
From an insurance guy perspective: The sub-frame is a great addition. Bet it saves 50% of "totals". The bike seems to be almost "over" engineered. Tour riders should love the "new" technology.
Oddly, for the first time ever I had a dream about owning a "geezer" glide last night. Told the wife about it this morning over coffee. Then I read this at 10am. Wow!
