| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While traveling at 65 mph on southbound hwy 87 in san jose, ca the welds attaching the neck of my motorcycle to the frame broke and the entire front end was severed and was no longer attached to the rest of the motorcycle. the motorcycle slammed to the pavement and skidded on the frame for over 500 feet, by some miracle of god the motorcycle stayed upright and came to a stop. i was not seriously injured but suffered neck and back whiplash as well as severe emotional trauma. i have had many problems with this motorcycle but the manufacturer, big bear choppers in big bear lake ca, has been very unresponsive and rude. this is not the first weld on the frame to have broken. i requested in writing that they inspect all frame welds, they did not do so. my main concern is for other owners of this brand motorcycle as the next person may not be so fortunate as i was and may lose their life! these motorcycles are rolling death traps due to what are apparently extremely poor manufacturing methods. *tr *fb |
