2001: “I own a 2001 Aprilia futura motorcycle. It was purchased in 2003 as a dealer demo leftover. The motorcycle currently has 16,000 miles. No sign of anything wrong until last week (july 29th). While riding my bike uphill on the route 9 bridge in perth amboy, nj, I hit a pothole. I immediately felt my left leg getting cooled by something and noticed that there was fuel spilling from underneath the tank. I immediately pulled off the road and lifted the tank. Fuel was spilling out from a quick release fitting in the main fuel line. …”
