Consumer Description

BROKEN SPOKE/ NIPPLE. I HAD NOTICED MY REAR TIRE FLAT ON MY MOTORCYCLE IN THE GARAGE, WHEN I LOOKED TO SEE HOW IT BECAME FLAT I FOUND A BROKEN SPOKE/NIPPLE. A PIECE OF THE SPOKE NIPPLE HAD PUNCTURED THE INNER TUBE AND CAUSED THE FLAT. WHEN THE LOCAL MOTORCYCLE REPAIR SHOP FIXED THE PROBLEM, THEY ACTUALLY FOUND ANOTHER BROKEN SPOKE AND REPLACED IT WHEN THEY FOUND IT. I KNOW OF MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES AND SEVERAL FRIENDS WITH THE SAME MOTORCYCLE TO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. NOBODY HAS GOTTEN HURT YET, BUT I BELIEVE THAT DAY IS COMING. *TR
