Do any of you practice emergency stops?

I do, every once in a while. I also try to practice different scenarios on dirt roads to try to see what would happen under different circumstances.(without the wife, of course!)
When that deer ran in front of me, I braked as hard as I could. When I felt the rear lock up, I let off a little and gave her more again. This all happened in probably 2 seconds, but practicing trains you to respond in an instant. If I had ABS, I believe I would have been into her farther and might have had a different outcome.
Believe me, I was ON the tank from my body weight wanting to keep going. This bike stops VERY well !
