This is very interesting and not really that surprising. I bet it's not the
only instance. I suspect this sort of thing was Yamaha's biggest fear on
this ABS failure issue.

Subject: ABS brakes and an accident....
Guys,
We've talked about "what if" ABS failure causes an accident. Well, it seems
it may have. The following is a letter received by Motorcycle Consumer News
in response to the news article I did about the brake issue. (I emailed the
guy and suggested he contact this group and the NHTSA. I hope he follows
through.):
