DON'T RIDE LIKE YA STOLE IT, RIDE TO SURVIVE.
Apparently there have been a number of deaths on the earlier Harleys (so I have been told). There was a design fault, when at low speed, which caused the steering to over turn and reverse the direction. A mate of mine had a serious accident (died twice but got brought back) in the South of France, with no memory of the accident. He put it down to pilot error and said design fault. Three years later, the Catholic girlfriend of the idiot driving the van that nearly killed him (twice) went to confess to the Police. Apparently her disqualified boyfriend hit the Harley up the back whilst it was stopped at a T junction at the end of a one way street. In a panic at not wanting to be caught, the driver drove straight over my mate's chest resulting in a puctured lung and crushed shoulder. The rear wheel missed his head by about 10cm. The confessing girlfriend was convinced that the biker would have been killed, which is why she had to confess. She went to jail for 18 months and the ex-boyfriend got 6 years.
My mate was quite angry by this revelation and said that he would rather have never discovered the truth. He was content with the pilot error explanation.

A few years back there was a chick who was killed in the Sandridge parking lot.
Slammed into a wall.
It's easily done. Accidently blip the throttle or drop the clutch and the bike jumps forward, rider is thrown backward and the throttle is twisted even further as he/she tries to hang on resulting in more speed with the rider hanging on even tighter.

Free Scott Watson.
A agree. A Harley Rider is just as vulnerable as the rest of us... I feel sorry for this guy and his family..
Whether Scott Watson is going to be freed anytime soon... well that's a whole other debate!
