A Sheep In Wolf's Clothing or Vice Versa?

Most manufacturers have recalls unless they are small. Every major car manufacturer has had them. Here is a a bit of info I also read while looking up the recall.

Triumph Motorcycles in America has been fined US$2.9 million for failing to report a safety recall over a steering issue to the relevant authorities.
The parent company in England has admitted it violated the Safety Act by failing to file certain quarterly reports on safety recalls last year in a timely manner to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
 
You can ask any mechanic about any machine made. That is how they make their living repairing machines. There are 3 reasons machines fail
Operator error
Single part failure
Design flaw
Any machine made by man will fail at some time during the life of that machine. The more of the same machine made the higher odds of machine failures due to the 3 above listings

I made a good living out of machines that failed.
 
NO I love T shirts and and all that cool motorcycle clothing I have it all and I sold all that cool stuff for years and years and Carpenter sells lots of shirts and I have hundreds of shirts jackets etc GOOD STUFF DAVE and HARLEY makes more money selling clothing than selling motorcycles YEP and lots of safety recalls from cars and motorcycles of all makes and many have died over the years so yes I was discussing the Harley recall with my friend who owns the local HD dealership hes the one that told about the massive recall and hes been struggling to fix all the recalled bikes and they been involved in some nasty lawsuits as a result of the thousands of affected and dangerous bikes causing injury and several deaths sounds unsafe to me LOL
 
NO deaths attributed to the BRAKE RECALL as far as I could find on goggle for Harley. Every lawyer would like to sue Harley and in the event of a crash many people call the lawyer even before the doctor. In this country the lawyers are pushing to sue gun manufacturers if one of their guns kills someone in a criminal act. Maybe we can sue the knife and fork manufacturers if we become overweight. It seems you are mad that Harley makes more selling clothes than bikes. Many dealers are trying their best to do the same. You were a dealer selling shirts etc, you weren't doing it for a hobby. I bet you wish your customers were as big a fan of of the bikes you sold as the HD customers were.
 
HMMMM sounds like dangerous problems to me I know I ve been involved in several lawsuits so they must all be considered serious
 
MY customers were very happy with the KAWASAKIS

47,000 HARLEYS recalled for faulty hydraulic clutch cyclinders already caused 27 accidents and serious injurys
 
OH 185,000 2014 and 15 HARLEYS recalled SADDLEBAGS will fall off the bikes
 
While I do appreciate those who put operational excellence into their interests, as we do here, that isn't the primary reason why riders choose any particular motorcycle.

Life is short. If one wants to live it on a H-D, then I say spend as much as you want and enjoy yourself.

Sometimes a superior Triumph isn't enough
 
YES to each his own some never get it
