he threw the bike to avoid the accident (video)

that's noob failure, there is no dive to the front end, he isn't on the front hard, if even at all. Losing the front is laughable. No lock up is audible. Almost looks like he jumps off. Probably tried to rear brake and said "fuck it, I'm out."

I am fucking going over the handlebars I am on the front so hard in that situation.

only the 15% of the time I forget to turn it off. I don't run ABS all that often.

Didnt know you had the option to turn it off, those sneaky germans Seems liek he had plenty of time/room to brake and make that stop.

That's average braking. Squatting doesn't stop it from doing stoppies.

Yeah, it's ALWAYS off when I leave pavement. The ABS is pure shit off the road.

I was confused why you would turn it off on pavement - but, yes... off on dirt is a good idea.
