TRAVELING NORTH ON HWY 101 NEAR KING CITY I RODE MY 2006 HARLEY DAVIDSON ROAD KING CLASSIC OVER AN ASPHALT PATCH AT APPROX 70 TO 75 MPH. THE FRONT END BEGAN TO WOBBLE VIOLENTLY. I THOUGHT I HAD A FRONT TIRE BLOW OUT. I SLOWED TO APPROX. 45 MPH BEFORE I COULD REGAIN CONTROL. TWO RIDERS BEHIND ME WITNESSED THE EVENT AND WERE SURE I WAS GOING DOWN. THIS ON A BIKE WITH LESS THAN 4000 MILES ON IT. LOOKING ON THE INTERNET I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH OTHER RIDERS AS WELL AND IN ONE CASE LED TO THE DEATH OF A STATE TROOPER. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM OF THE EXPERIENCE WHICH THEY PROMPTLY TOLD ME THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON MAY 30TH TO HAVE IT SERVICED. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL PINPOINT A CAUSE HOWEVER I GET THE FEELING THEY ARE GOING TO BLOW ME OFF. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO CONTINUE PROBABLY DUE TO SETTLEMENT REQUIREMENTS THAT THE PLAINTIFF REMAIN SILENT ABOUT THE ENGINEERING DEFECT. I WANT TO GO ON RECORD NOW SO IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME HARLEY DAVIDSON CAN'T SAY THEY WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN RIDING FOR OVER 25 YEARS, THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME WAS THAT GUARDIAN ANGEL SITTING ON MY SHOULDER. *NM
