Harley Davidson Trike Fatal Accident

[@bradbehnkeb950]

The wife and I just bought a trike this last fall we had a 2017 limited and my knees were struggling with it after 42 years in construction. I can't even imagine the pain not just physically but the mental anguish he is feeling are prayers are with you.

[@FSAUDIOGUY]

I'm so sorry this happened to these people. When I came back to riding I went with an older bike for this very reason. Automated systems on a motorcycle does not sit well with me. R.I.P. innocent victim. Better days ahead for you sir.

A 737Max Trike. All this computer crap on cars and bikes scares me. Why I'm keeping my old analog Nighthawk and CRF and old Ford. I like being in control.

[@goldilocks913]

Sorry for your loss. Instead of suing everyone for trademark violations maybe Harley need to concentrate on their machines and their customers.🙏😢

[@simontemplar6774]

I have a 2019 Triglide, I got the same recall notification @ November 2022. Dallas Harley Davidson did not have the parts. They scheduled & updated mine In May. I pray to God that this is resolved. But how do I know for sure? This is a tragic story, sorry to hear of your loss.

Sorry for your loss RIP

I am sorry for your loss Sir.

THIS here is the number one reason when I wanted to convert to a Trike, instead of buying a Harley Trike, I took mine to CSC to have it converted to a Trike.. THIS scares me.. I am so sorry for this mans loss of his lifetime partner.. It is so very sad.. The FACT that Harley DID NOT stand behind their own vehicle is horrible.. My prayers go out to this man and his family and his wife's family.. Such a sad story.. I hurt for him.. I cannot imagine..

He feels so bad about her dying because of him ,that he is willing to profit from it

[@fogit4668]

@@whdbnrm3023 Or maybe he is suing so that other people will not have to go through what he has with the death of his wife. Harley is known for letting things side year after year. This is why the Harley aftermarket is so big. The aftermarket finds fixes to what Harley should have never let out to begin with.

[@whdbnrm3023]

@@fogit4668 Oh My , what a humanitarian . He kills his wife and then blames others . He is suing for a big paycheck and avoid taking responsibility for his wifes death .Harley has been making trikes since 1913 ,now all of a sudden 2 old people crash and Harleys are unsafe . Aftermarket parts are a huge industry , because people want to make things personal . That goes for cars ,trucks as well. Stop being silly .

Sorry for your loss. Harley Davidson should make this right. This could make a big impact on sales.

[@jt.4930]

Our friends lost their lives on a trike. They were driving 65 miles mph and all of the sudden they just hit the side of the rail and the wife went over the freeway. Both lives lost and they both just retired. This happened 2 years ago and we never thought their was a problem w their trike. I wonder....

Sorry for your loss

[@michaelcrosby6071]

Maybe put more money in research and development instead of the boutique clothing section.

[@joec2174]

There is a recall for a program change.

[@fogit4668]

That is just one of the problems with Harley Trikes.

[@roninrusso872]

1st of all my condolences to the family. And now too Harley Davidson. once again shows they do not care one iota Is about their customers... You can deny all you want Harley Davidson but you cannot deny that This family went through such horror because you won't take response And do the Write thing shame on you. I Personally we'll never ever buy anything from Harley Davidson again...

[@perfectlynormal5729]

I just bought a 2022 Harley Freewheeler. I didn't know about this brake issue before I bought it. Harley told this couple it was taken care of. I have to wonder if it actually has by now.

[@Suffolk_Jason]

Sounds like the MoCo programmed the abs module for a 2 wheel scoot and it modulated only 2 of the wheels while one stayed locked up.

[@melodywilliams6197]

Sorry for your loss. I own a Can Am Spyder which I trust. Have never had problems with braking system. Can't believe Harley decided to change things on their traction control and braking system.

[@candlstudios]

They didn't change anything it was new technology for them. 2019 was the first year Harley offered traction control on any of their bikes. They picked the trikes first. The rest of the touring bikes got it in 2020.

[@whdbnrm3023]

@@candlstudios I got a recall notice , it had to do with the brake fluid . I switched over to synthetic brake fluid before I got the recall . NO problemo The only problem with the bike/trike is the operator . In this case he is to old .

[@davidhals371]

Sorry for your loss!!!! Hopefully Harley davidson makes things right, although they can never bring back your love one!!!!! Really sorry you lost your soulmate!!!

[@jimputnam2044]

I thought all new HD'S had ABS??

[@richardschaffling9882]

Sorry for your loss and they don’t take responsibility for anything I bought a 2022 tri glide and they still had the problem and had a recall for the same problem Harley Davidson has gone totally down hill and there customer service is the Pitts

[@TerrenceLP]

I don't understand how three wheelers were outlawed and these things are on the roads again😮 they've never been safe ever

[@sean8470]

what a disgrace; the profit margins what harley makes on these trikes and for them hide under their desks is why I will never go to the bar and shield will stay on my paid for zero problem Triumph

[@dwightbernheimer331]

Management at Harley-Davidson should be made to ride These death traps!!!...😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[@nightrider2570]

I didn’t know that these trikes can just slam on any one brake at any time it what’s,incredibly dangerous, how does automatic brake apply anyway ??

[@slydoggish]

I hope Harley goes out of business behind this. How foul can you be.

[@whdbnrm3023]

You are the winner with that comment . Foul and nasty

[@HelenRobillard]

Same thing happened to my ex husband. My husband was in the hospital 31 days, 2 rods put in his leg, 24 plates and screws to.put his hip together. Caused us to get a divorce. He vered off to the left and crashed. Hired 2 different attorneys and Harley shows up with their attorneys and dismisses any problems

[@billgoobinhoffer4705]

Caused you to get divorced??? No. That’s an excuse. Lack of commitment caused you to get divorced. No one has any values anymore….

[@whdbnrm3023]

Takes areal bitch to leave a beat up man . But to hire two different attorneys tells something .

They pronounced me dead three times? What a line of BS!

[@n00n1n]

Good, released your good Tyron Woodley

[@billgoobinhoffer4705]

There is no evidence this was a rear braking problem. The guy said he has no recollection of what happened. How can you possibly sue Harley just bc you heard abt a recall. There is nothing to even indicate a braking problem caused the crash.

[@whdbnrm3023]

And this wasn't his first crash on the trike . The first time he had it fixed and got right back on it , so the bike was not at fault . The second time his wife was killed ,now all of the sudden it's the bikes fault

[@robertfish4052]

So are Harley-Davidson still a credible manufacturer or just a fashion statement for the dumb.

[@collenfisher3635]

I guess the saying amoungst us Japanese motorcyclists of "Hardly Dangerous", is actually not accirate. So sad, and heartfelt condolences.
