First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
That's Barcolounger stuff. Do you ride a Gold Wing too?

up ... thinking of ACC ... 
Situation
if I am driving with full speed and while overtaking ...
I surprized with a slow car .. in front of me !!
Question ??
will ACC detect the car faster & before I see it ? and what action it takes ?
will ACC apply As much as possible hard brake to avoid the accident happen ?

This thread has gotten quite long, with many divergent opinions, but I can only add that I love ACC on very long drives - I once went 250 miles without stepping on the brake or gas pedal once - but I don't tend to use it for commuting or other short trips.

i never want to rely while driving a car on a system, if something goes wrong and you sit in the back row... 
I really like it on the highway, but not so good on the freeway ... but you shouldn't use any CC with tons of traffic.
