Repost for Thorn - HAMMER
Date: Mon Mar 24, 2008 21:19 GMT
This is a repost for Thorn about his brother HAMMER. If you have an 08 H.D. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE get it checked out.
My Brother HAMMER was killed today in a bike accident -- He was the President and Chapter Holder for Boozerfighters Chapter 39 in Granburys, Texas. He is also the Owner of Jackhammer Tattoo. his wife Sindi is in serious condition.
Seems that the new electronic throttle on the 08 H.D.'s has a problem they accelerate on their own and you can't shut them down. he had just got his bike back from H.D. for this problem and they told him it was fixed. this time he was in a curve and couldn't pull out of it , ran off the road and threw Sindi off ,then the bike flipped over on him and broke his neck .
please if you have one of these bikes or you know someone that does , get it checked
Checked the Boozefighters site and it seems to be true.
RIP.

Wow. Gave me chills reading about something like that happening. It does not apply for me, but I would also like to know if anyone else has expereience with the new fly by wire in this respect.
Very sorry for their family's loss.
RIP

For sure, without knowing the situation. Riding MX has given me a habit of always riding with a finger on the front brake and two on the clutch, always, just in case.
Man, that's bad! RIP
Ditto on the Clutch and Kill switch, but sometimes something crazy like this will make you panic for a second and that is a second too long.
