probably been said above: one must be very aware of oil accumulation in the middle of the lane. I do not have ABS breaks but I know for a fact that my wheel would never lock up unless i really got on it too hard... but thats my bike.

My initial thought was that he was used to the Harley needing more pressure than your bike..... But that seems unlikely. I had a sportster and the rear break would lock up all the time to the point where i could skid it like a BMX bike for fun with little effort. which was one of many reasons i felt that bike to be highly dangerous

on my current bike, if its wet, i feather both breaks very very gently, well ahead of where i need to stop and i stay clear of the center of the lane

i do suppose its possible that your back brake is more sensitive than his Harley and he used too much pressure
