I've had a few occasions, when I've been "making progress", braking into tight corners the ABS kick in, it feels like I've let off the brakes. Has anyone else found this?

I had this on my Glee to begin with, apparently asking for some emergency braking power, only to be met with the abs providing you with no braking power at all, so it feels like you've let off the brakes, is quite normal. It scared the shit out of me though. I now ride accordingly, I don't like the abs on my Glee and I don't think I'll ever get used to it.
I never had any instances on my previous sportsbikes where something chiming in and robbing me of power would have helped me at all, I like the predictability and feel at the lever of conventional brakes. I've even locked fronts before, but they were predicable, and I was still decelerating, you can feel at the lever when a wheel is about to lock with good brakes, can't feel anything at the lever on the Glee, you just get a 'no' from the computer and momentarily freewheel into pending disaster. Hate it.
