He might just have a point!

Wise words.

I really struggle with this one - seems like a csase of not taking responsibility for your own actions.

No mention of the fact he had the accident - ABS  is an avoidance device i.e it helps drivers/riders avoid a crash NOT prevent it - The rider has some reposnsibility and is he really saying he was so stupid as to not know it did or didnt have. Maybe he shouldnt be riding in the first place.

 

You know the sad part is this cost of defending these actions eventually finds its way into theh cost of new bikes.

It aint all that common

you would think after riding the fucken thing for the last 15 months he would realise he dosn't have ABS--cheers Grim

 

Man, that is so sad about his wife. I'd be surprised if he won though. I think a smart HD Lawyer could successfuly argue that ABS or no he could not have prevented the accident. If not a total exonneration, then certainly lessen the damages to HD.

We don't know the facts about the accident, but it would be difficult for the Rider to prove he was capable of fully controlling the bike in the situation that occured. I haven't worded that well at all but I'm trying to say HD could shoot plenty of holes in his story.

And the Winnebago thing - I thought that was an urban myth. Did that really happen?! Surely no-one is that dumb?

EDIT: I just checked the Winnebago story on the SNOPES site (urban legend stories) and they have it listed as a 'legend' story - as in it's a very well known bullshit story but oft repeated as fact. But that's if ya believe SNOPES...

 

 

Well my ABS just failed on the rear brake leaving me with no brake at all. The pedal was locked and would not move.

I wonder if she was wearing a helmet?
