NHTSA Complaint #11173798 — 2017 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLDE

IF I CAN WRITE THIS MAIL, IT'S BECAUSE I'M STILL ALIVE. I'M GIUSEPPE AND I'M LIVING IN BRUSSELS BELGIUM. I HAVE A HARLEY-DAVIDSON STREET ROD 750 SINCE SEPTEMBER 2017 BUT I RIDE SINCE MARCH 2018. I BOUGHT MY STREET ROD AT HARLEY-DAVIDSON BRUSSELS. IN APRIL 2018, MY DEALER MADE THE FIRST SERVICE AT 5000KM. THIS SATURDAY THE FIFTH OF THIS MONTH JANUARY AT 05:45 AM, I WAS RIDING HOME AFTER WORK. I WAS ALONE ON THE ROAD AND FORTUNATLY, I WAS RIDDING ONLY AT 50 KM/H ( 31 MILES. SUDANLY, THE PISTON OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF THE FRONT WHEEL WAS ACTIVATED WITHOUT REASON AND BLOCKED THE WHEEL. I FELL AND I FINISH MY WORK DAY IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A BROKEN THUMB, AN INJURED SHOULDER AND A BROKEN KNEE. TO RIDE WITH A HARLEY-DAVIDSON, IT'S A DREAM SINCE I WAS CHILD. NOW, I'M 53 AND I WANT TO STILL TRUST IN H-D BIKE AND H-D SERVICES. NOW, MY BIKE IS IN THE GARAGE OF THE H-D BRUSSEL, I'M VERRY ANGRY AND ANRAGED BECAUSE I RISKED MY LIFE. NOT BECAUSE OF AN OTHER DRIVER WHO WAS ON THE PHONE AND HE DOENS'T SAW ME, NOT BECAUSE OF THE GROUND WAS WET. BUT BECAUSE THE H-D MECANISME ARE NOT RELIABLE. I REMINDER YOU THAT IF I WAS RIDING AT 120 KM/H, I WAS DEAD. I WANT TO COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. WE ARE THE 10 OF JANUARY, 5 DAYS AFTER MY ACCIDENT AND I'M ALWAYS THINKING, '' WTF!!!! I RISKED MY LIFE BECAUSE I WAS RIDING???!!!'' I'M SORRY GUYS, BUT I WILL NEVER GIVE UP.
