Whenever going at a high speed there was a major possibility of losing control of the motorcycle because of the wind. This could result in a fatality. Contact spoke with different dealerships, and they knew that to correct the problem one has to go to a regular spoke wheel. But they were not willing to do this. He explained to them that he will do whatever he could to do about this situation because there were a lot of people…

Dt: contact states that the harley davidson V-rod is unstable because of the wind currents and normal driving speed. The contact has talked to harley davidson, and they suggested to him to go and buy spoked wheels. The solid wheels created too much surface area for the light front end and therefore greatly affected by crosswinds and vehicular turbulence.
