“Throttle by wire (tbw) safety . I purchased the bike in june of 2012. The first issue occurred approximately 3 months after purchasing the bike. To date I have had 7 incidences with the tbw, either going full throttle or no throttle. Have had the bike back to the dealer several times for repairs. At the moment I don' ??t think I can safely ride the road glide. Will it respond the way I want it too when I pulling out into traffic, cruising down the interstate, negotiating an intersection, merging or passing a vehicle? Just wanted to make you aware of harley davidson tbw issues. …”
