“Harley davidson roadking 2004 purchased new. Gear shifter went flacid and I was unable to shift into any gear. This happened once in 2004; twice in 2005; twice in 2006; and once last week in 2007. Each time the gear shifter was tightened by the american harley dealer here in western new york; and one time in 2006 harley replaced the gear shifter. On such a new bike, it makes no sense that this same problem continues to reoccur. I could be thrown over the handlebars to my death if this problem occurs at a high rate of speed. …”
