Title: ABS used for real, 1st time. Impressed.
Post by: London_Phil on July 15, 2019, 08:35:23 PM
800XC less than 1 min from home.
1 x Prius type car, almost certainly Uber/Taxi type.
Clear in front of me, but line of cars coming the other way.
Prius pulls out from R/H side road  after last car passes on the oncoming, turning into my side/direction.
I Panic pull on the brakes, and felt the brakes pulsing.
Bike slows down rapidly, with no drama, Prius sees me and brakes hard.
Got to admit its an option I like..

Bastards.....

It's great. You are still here. What's not to like?

The abs on tigers works well off road too.

Bloody Prius !! That's what happens when you start running cars on batteries instead of good raw fuel !!  :icon_wink:

Yeah, it's not bastard's to Triumph, it's bastard's to the miriad of self employed taxi drivers, who's interpretation of the highway code is interesting, to say the least. I actually had a Prius for 6 months as a company car. I'm not kidding, I've had people try to get into my car just assuming I'm a Taxi of some sort. I've been in a queue of more than 7 Priui just travelling between Harrow and Wembley....sooo many poor drivers around here.
