Consumer Description

While riding the bike with my 9 year old son as a passenger we came up on a slow vehicle. Attempted to pass in a passing lane to the left side of the slow car, we were traveling about 50 mph. The both lanes were flat and straight with no rough pavement. I got into the left land and throttled to accelerate. Once slightly ahead of the car I started to turn to the right to complete the overtake and upon pulling the handlebars to initiate the turn it stated hard braking both front wheels like the abs kicked in. I released throttle and kept straight and now the car is beside us again. Throttled into a little to attempt to pass again and the same thing happened again. When attempted to turn right it started locking both front brakes up. This time I noticed vss flashing on dash. I throttled hard this time as the car was now beside us and held on for dear life and once moving straight and not turning it quit the braking / shaking. We pulled off up the road and gathered our thoughts and even the slow car stopped to check on us and thought our wheel was falling off. Only happened those 2 times and thes rest of day was fine. Truly a dangerous situation and if it had been my wife on my bike instead of my 60lb son, i don't think I could've overpowered the jerking of the handlebars and I think we would've wrecked.
