I have had ABS in other cars and currently in my Honda.  Wish I had it in my
T-100 and the ability to turn it off when off the pavement.

Depstite all claims otherwise, it is not possible to do it better yourself.
The only time ABS is not better, according to the manual,  is in heavy graveled
roads, where the tires would dig into the gravel.

I was driving on a hard packed gravel road that was very wet and braking
absolutely sucked.  When I want to scrub speed fast coming into a corner,
I’d
much rather deal with the lockup of 4 large tires with lots of bite than
have the
ABS do it.
