“On november 24th I was in a single vehicle accident. While riding my 2006 749 Ducati the front tire was wobbling back and forth and the back tire began to do the same. I was unable to control the bike and subsequently crashed into a guard rail, fracturing 5 vertebra, breaking an arm and a foot. There is something seriously wrong with this bike.”
