DL1000 ABS in the wilds...

[DougieB]

while tackling the Canary Wharf route I had a few brief front wheel lock-up's. The road was covered in grime, and just a little bit of rain had fallen. So enough rain to make it slippy, but not enough to wash the crap off the road.

But the over-landing beast, that the DL1000 is, is supposed to have ABS. It has the sticker on the body-work at least. So how come the front is locking up? I wasn't braking heavily, just normal. It's the first bike I've had with ABS, so maybe it's working and I just don't know what it feels like. What should it feel like when the ABS takes control away from you?
