Exploding Harleys could melt polar ice caps

I guess but the problem is suppose to be the tank mounts. Not the frame. I will post more on this in Jan when mine gets done.

WTF! Stupid!

The brainyact that thought this shit up should be shot.

that would be some yahoo who wrecked one and his attorney who argued this point probably.

i used to work and ride with the legal counsel of one of the companies I worked for. You wouldn't believe the tools who sue companies.

That's not a defect
Its a feature.

Its called the ACS ("auto-cremation system")

It's kind of like on-star except that it finishes the job the front end collision started.

Being a Harley rider he probably was an attorney.

Did Yamaha ever have to recall those R6's that kept having fire problems due to ruptured tanks in a crash?
