Normally locking the rear brake is not a big thing. Just release it and its okay. But what happens with inexperienced riders is that they get frightened by the rear wheel sliding and pull the front brake to get slower. Then the front brake locks and they fall within 2 sec.

Your idea with feet and mud is a good one. Just needs a litle practise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCH_l-U0NP8

My observation is that inexperienced riders (or idiots like my son-in-law) tend not to use the front brake at all in an emergency and only stomp on the rear brake - which can lead to a similar result as young McGregor experienced.  ;)

Really enjoyed this video. I seem to recall one similar and the rider forgot to turn off the ABS after re-starting the bike. He ended up hitting the camera man!

If you would know anything about professional driving, you would not speak out the things you do. Easy.

if you got a professional driving school for adventure bikes, point me to it with a link and all apologies I am able to are going to you

We dont need freedom of speech. Cancel Culture is enough. Grows like a cancer in our western democracy. The eastern socialist dictators already perfected it. And a lot of people  follow. Whole heartedly.

I've asked my insurers (horses mouth, the underwriters), and they are quite happy for me to remove it, and have noted thus on my policy.

I've also checked with VOSA, and they have no interest in whether it's fitted or not. Just have to remove the warning light too.

Well when we get some movement on this it would be nice to know it will only be the electrics not the plumbing just a case of plumbing the hoses direct to the masters and by passing the rest.

Well l just put my thinking cap on could it not be as simple as pulling the bulb and removing the fuse if the electrics are not there they can’t do anything.

I'm talking about removing the whole system, not just disabling it. Pipes  wiring, modulator etc. Which is what I've done.
There's no procedure; just unbolt it and replace the hoses. I also replaced the warning indicator pod with a non-ABS one.

Well of course there is do it the same way l did my BM discard the ABS and then plumb in new system your not disabling anything rather rebuilding it,  of course there’s a procedure you rebuilt it back to a none ABS system, l am not entirely sure you understand braking systems especially ABS.
