“I purchased this new 2005 harley davidson on 1/20/2005. While riding on the interstate freeway I engaged the cruise control. I attempted to disengage it so I could adjust my speed. The controls did not disengage it. I used my brakes, those did not disengage it. I pulled the clutch, that did not disengage it but the engine speed jump up to 6500 RPM. When I released the clutch my speed increased to around 85 MPH. I turned off the dash switch and that did not have any effect. I turned off the motorcycle and coasted to an off ramp. I restarted the motorcycle and rode to the dealer. …”
