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. |
