ON JULY 7, 2013, WHILE TRAVELING EASTBOUND IN THE LEFTHAND LANE OF US HIGHWAY 64 JUST OUTSIDE NASHVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, WELL BELOW THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, THE LEFT REAR TIRE OF A 2011 HARLEY-DAVIDSON TRI-GLIDE (MODEL FLHTCUTG) DETACHED AND SWERVED AWAY FROM THE TRI-GLIDE. THE TRI-GLIDE VEERED LEFT OFF THE ROAD, STRIKING THE LEFT SIDE GUARD RAIL, EJECTING BOTH THE HELMETED DRIVER AND THE HELMETED PASSENGER OVER THE GUARD RAIL. THE DRIVER, DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF HIS INJURIES, DIED AND THE PASSENGER WAS INJURED. THE DETACHED LEFT REAR TIRE SPUN AWAY TO AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE RIGHTHAND LANE. THE TIRE WAS LOST DURING THE INCIDENT, AS WERE ALL FOUR LUG-NUTS THAT PREVIOUSLY HELD THE TIRE IN PLACE. THE TRI-GLIDE WAS BEING RIDDEN AS PART OF AN ORGANIZED RIDE AND WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH IN A 70 MPH ZONE WHEN THE TIRE AND LUG NUTS SEPARATED. FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION OF THE CRASH, NORTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY PATROL STATED MECHANICAL FAILURE AS THE CRASH'S ONLY APPARENT CAUSE. THE TRI-GLADE WAS BOUGHT NEW IN MAY 2011. SINCE THEN IT HAD BEEN SERVICED ONLY AT THE DEALERSHIP, INCLUDING SERVICE FOR THE WARRANTY RECALL ON THE BRAKE SWITCH, AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. *TR

THE BRAKES SEEM TO BE LOCKED UP AT TIMES WHEN YOU PUT THE REVERSE DRIVE IN. YOU CAN STEP DOWN ON THE FOOT BRAKE, AND IT FREES UP. THIS TRIKE HAS LESS THAN 14000 MILES ON IT THE TRIKE IS A 2011 TRIGLIDE, AND IT IS NOW NOV 2015. THE PARK BRAKE IS ADJUSTED ALL THE WAY OUT, AND DOES NOT HOLD AT ALL. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WITH THIS COMPLAINT.. MOST OF MY RIDING IS ALL HIGHWAY WITHOUT THE FREQUENT STOP, AND GO ALONG WITH THE VERY FEW USE OF THE BRAKES ON A 100 MILE TRIP. I MIGHT AD THAT I HAVE THE CRUISE SET AT 65 FOR THE FULL TRIP, AND THAT THE FUEL ECONOMY IS A FAR CRY FROM THE ADVERTISED MPG. IT'S FEW, AND FAR BETWEEN THAT I GET 30 MPG IN IDEAL RIDING CONDITIONS. THE BRAKE PADS SHOW A LOT OF WEAR FOR A VEHICLE UNDER 14,000 MILES O IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP BEFORE FOR THE PARK BRAKE NOT HOLDING.
