I don't like traction control with four wheels. I would absolutely hate it with two.

I read the article and it all sounds very impressive. But for now I'll just leave my brain as the CPU, anti-lock, collision avoidance and traction control system. I don't expect it to be perfect and sh*t can happen...but I figure it goes with the territory. Use your heads and ride within your limits!

Happy trails!
