I WAS RIDING DOWN I-25 NORTH GETTING OFF ONTO THE I-70 WEST EXIT. I WAS GOING TO MY MECHANIC BECAUSE I HEARD A "METAL BOUNCING AROUND" NOISE IN THE BACK OF MY BIKE. WHEN I GOT ONTO THE EXIT MY TIRE LOCKED UP AND I SKID TO THE SIDE WHERE MY BIKE WENT DOWN. AFTER I GOT TO MY MECHANIC WE TOOK THE BACK APART AND FOUND OUT MY MIDDLE DRIVE SHAFT BROKE. AS I WAS LOOKING FOR PARTS I WAS INFORMED THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I NEED THIS INVESTIGATED. IT WILL COST ME $3250 TO FIX THE BIKE.
