BIKER sues HD over ABS or not

[Looni2ns]

You're right. It's a shame, since her life care plan probably came to close to $500,000. And, I agree it's wrong to blame others and sue them when it's not their fault.

Sounds like her husband dumped her too.

Well, you know how some women ask "Would you still love me if I was______?" Well she doesn't have to ask anymore.

She charged that her estranged husband laid the bike into a slide when the rear wheel locked up as he hit the brakes when traffic backed up on them on the Highway 99 in their April 11, 2009, crash

So he had to "Lay it down", eh?

I'm shocked.

Yeah, not really.

And forgive me for being dumb, but I thought the ABS really only kept the FRONT from locking up?

How the hell did this get even as far as a jury if the outcome wouldn't have been prevented had the bike actually been equiped with ABS?

How about the fact harley offered them 900k as a settlement.

They're probably cynical like me - figured they'd get cleaned out in court by sheeple on the jury. I'm honestly surprised it didn't happen that way.

A few yrs back I lost a front caliper bolt on my futura while out on a ride. We were trying to figure out what to do and one HD rider told me ot ride it and dont use the front brake. I somewhat politely told him to GTFO

Also leads me to believe she didnt have much more than a brain bucket on if all it was was a lowside crash

When the blade fell over in rocks it separated the plastic elbow between the front brake master and resivoir. Didn't know till I started for home and got a good squirt of fluid on my glove at the first light. Limped home on the back brake no biggie. Actually easier than riding the cm450 home with the snapped throttle cable. That one I cranked the idle adjustment up to 5k and slipped the fuck out of the clutch
