ABS? Whats your opinion! (Now with surveymonkey!)

[Clarkie]

Hi BCF, I know you all love these types of things but basically im doing a research project about motorcyclists views and opinions on ABS.

It doesnt matter if you've never ridden a bike with ABS i just wanna know your views!

I have a few questions but any other ramblings etc would really help

Questions
Please take this survey then one of the two below that dependant on your bike
For allhttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KYP6QVB


For those with ABShttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KJHNVQ2

For those without ABShttps://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KW7P9MH

[The Shaggy D.A.]

TL;DR.

Haven't needed ABS so far, just another thing that can go wrong on a bike.
