“I wish I would have known about this sooner than now. I almost lost my husband due to a crash caused from the brakes malfunctioning. We were fortunate that someone we knew was also present and called me. If not my husband probably would not be here today. He obtained multiple fractures, road rash from head to toe, chunks of his skin were missing and cracked his head open. The motorcycle itself was totalled and in a number of pieces. My husband spent days in the hospital and many more at home recovering. …”
