Not riden and should be fixed soon.

If something where to happen while riding,has anyone thought about their warranty? If there was an accident,has anyone thought about the insurance company refusing to pay the claim due to rider/owner negligence for neglecting the "DO NOT RIDE"?

Ok but what if you didn't know about the recall?
I did not know anything about it until I read it on this forum....
Not everyone watches the news, reads the paper...or looks at a forum.
I did not receive any type of notice whatsoever, true in a few more weeks
it may be more known. Yes I realize that people are still riding that do know....

I cant believe Harley can screw up a simple system like a hydraulic clutch.

I have pointed that out a few times. One of our high IQ members told me I was just scared. I guess he was right in a way scared of the litigation that would follow my crash
