ABS > non-ABS
I've been reading the ABS thread and there seems to be quite a few who do not like it.
My question to the braintrust here is, how many have removed the ABS system from their bikes?
I ask these questions because there are probably angles that I haven't considered. Mine works fine I suppose, and I plan on doing the fluid changes regularly. I'm interested in what the long time owners here think about removing it if issues arise.

Well, I guess I am an old dude and may not have totaled a bike some years ago if it had ABS. Wet road at night where I had to grab some brake going into an unexpected curve a bit faster than I should have been going.

BTW: I'm an old dude and pretty pleased with ABS; it usually is one of the first things I test when riding a new bike or after the winter stop; just to remind myself of the limits.

Imagine your insurance company washing their hands if you crash and found out you removed the ABS. If it has it, leave it alone!
