Consumer Description

I HAVE A HARLEY DAVIDSON TRI GLIDE ULTRA CLASSIC THAT WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE RIDING, THE LEFT SIDE SUDDENLY A HAD A TREMENDOUS DRAG I BELIEVED CAUSED BY THE REVERSE COMING ON WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT AROUND 55 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE THROWN INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC JUST MISSING A PICKUP AND WENT DOWN INTO THE DITCH JUST MISSING A LARGE CULVERT. MY WIFE WAS THROWN OFF AND RECEIVED MANY BROKEN BONES AND BRUISES. SHE WILL BE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 6 WEEKS AND THEN MANY MONTHS OF TERAPHY. I WAS ABLE TO STAY ON AND ONLY RECEIVED A LITTLE BACK PAIN. WE WERE BOTH VERY LUCKY NOT TO BE KILLED. HARLEY HAS A BIG PROBLEM THAT NEED ATTENTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR
