“As I was driving my spyder wouldn't slow down and I was at 66mph.. I down shifted and it still stayed at 66mph. No matter how much I pressed on the brake it stayed at 66. Lucky I had enough sense to turn the bike off, but by then I was in the woods because I had to avoid hitting other cars. My power steering wasn't working at the time and I called brp on july 3 to ask them if it was still under warranty because it was replaced in april of 2011. They told me it was. So I had the accident two weeks later now brp wont pay for my power steering unit. …”
