“I purchased a new harley davidson dyna glide switchback motorcycle from a dealership in omaha, ne. On november of 2011. Upon driving the motorcycle home and parking it inside my garage I noticed a strong smell of gasoline followed by gasoline dripping onto the garage floor. I occasionally rode the motorcycle weather permitting the next couple of days and continued to experience the gas smell and a dripping of gasoline from the motorcycle. I made a telephone to the dealership and they requested I bring the bike in for a check. The motorcycle leaks and drips gas from the gas tank vent line. …”
