Have You Had Your Bike Checked?

Back in October we reported that Harley-Davidson had recalled over 300,000 motorcycles for a possible brake failure. Fox News had shared the information that there was a switch problem that can cause failure of the brake lights and possibly even the brakes themselves.

This recall applies to HD Touring, CVO Touring, and Trikes from 2009 thru 2012 model years.  So we ask, "Have you gotten your bike checked out?"  You would have received notification in the mail directly from Harley-Davidson, and it should have directed you to reputable dealers that would install a new switch kit free of charge.

Texas Biker Lawyers of the Cole Legal Group know a thing or two about the dangers of manufacturers defects, and we take recalls seriously.  Automotive defects can cause catastrophic injuries and even death.  Brake failure tops a list of common defects that statistically claims numerous injury victims.

While proving these cases can be difficult, the Cole Legal Group is committed to improving vehicle safety and protecting Texans from these unsafe defects and designs. We will immediately secure and inspect your vehicle for manufacturing or design defects to purse justice from the auto manufacturer, distributor, or retailer who contributed to your injuries.

It's a different story when the manufacturer offers up a recall notice.  They're not always the first to find out about product defects, as many of those victims of the statistics can attest.  We advise you to check your bike out soon, before you make that trek to one of the many summer motorcycle rallies going on this year.

If you've been involved in a motorcycle accident in Texas, contact an attorney with riding experience.

Harley-Davidson ‘Liberates’ Domesticated Animals

From Boulder-based Victors & Spoils comes the motorcycle spot that crowdsourcing can buy. Debuting alongside the season premiere of FX’s hit show Sons of Anarchy last night, the second installment in the “No Cages” campaign for Harley-Davidson depicts a rather harmless looking young man release a bunch of dogs into the wild wilderness of suburbia.

Why would he do this? Maybe he’s on drugs. Maybe he doesn’t understand that pet-store animals spread disease throughout the community until they’re eventually killed off by raccoons. Maybe the dog’s living situation reminds our friendly anti-hero of his own time spent in the slammer. Or, maybe he’s just a dick. Whatever his motivation, it all makes up for a very “cute” spot. But wait, does “cute” traditionally sell motorcycles to rebellious youth or weary men going through midlife crises? Well, when you consider almost 5 million viewers (3.22 million in the 18-49 demographic) tuned into the SOA last night, maybe you’re not selling a counter culture. Maybe you’re just selling pop culture.
