My antilock,
Bosch (circa 1996) system will only lock the wheels for a small bit and
then jet go and even out I can steer with ABS engaged but not as well
as Light braking, I only know the brakes lock up because after panic
stops (Autox with stop boxes) their are silver dollar sized rub spots on
my r-1's but very few.. (Not flat spots, barely visiable indents)
