MY WIFE AND I WERE RIDING ON A 2005 HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD KING CLASSIC WITHOUT ABS. WE WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON INTERSTATE 275 WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF US SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES. WE LOST CONTROL OF THE BIKE AS WE ATTEMPTED TO RAPIDLY STOP AND AVOID HITTING HIM. I SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. MY WIFE BROKE HER CLAVICLE, SCAPULA, AND MOST RIBS ON HER RIGHT SIDE. ALSO SUSTAINED A HEMOTHORAX AND PNEUMOTHORAX THAT REQUIRED 3 HOSPITALIZATIONS AND SURGERY TO INCLUDE PLATING OF HER RIBS. THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED HAD THE BIKE BEEN EQUIPPED WITH ABS. HARLEY DAVIDSON DID NOT MAKE ABS AVAILABLE UNTIL 2008 AND IT CAN NOT BE RETROFITTED TO ANY BIKE--IT IS A FACTORY OPTION ONLY AND IT IS NO

I PURCHASED A 2005 HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD KING LAST YEAR. I WAS DRIVING MY BIKE AND HAD NOTICED THE FRONT TIRE WOBBLE WHILE I WAS RIDDING EVERY NOW AND THEN. I TOOK INTO SAN JOSE HARLEY DEALERSHIP TO GET MY SECOND SERVICE AT 5K MILES AND EXPLAINED THAT MY BIKE WOULD WOBBLE FROM TIME TO TIME. A WEEK AFTER GETTING MY BIKE OUT OF THE SHOP, I WENT FOR A RIDE. AT 60 MPH, THE WHOLE BIKE GOT OUT OF CONTROL WITH WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS A TANK SLAPPER. THE BIKE LOOKED LIKE A FISH WITH THE MOST SEVERE WOBBLE I HAD EVER BEEN ON. I WAS SOMEHOW ABLE TO HOLD ON AND SLOW DOWN UNTIL IT STOPPED AND THEN PULLED OVER. I HEARD STORIES THAT MOST PEOPLE DO NOT MAKE OUT OF THAT SITUATION SO LUCKY. ANYWAY,
