Harley-Davidson Inc. has issued a recall for 14 different models of motorcycles due to a potential issue with the clutch. This recall affects more than 27,000 motorcycles from the model-year 2016 and includes both cruiser and touring models.

A Florida Highway Patrol trooper was seriously injured when his Harley-Davidson motorcycle began, what is termed, a "death wobble." The investigation is centering around a potential manufacturer's defect from the motorcycle itself and not rider error. This is not a lone incident. Rather, the death wobble has been reported many times to Harley-Davidson and is being considered by most to be a defect in the design and or production of certain models in the Harley line. In these instances, an injured person can make a claim against a manufacturer of a motorcycle that causes injury to the rider through no fault of the rider.

In Florida, everyone who rides a motorcycle under the age of 21 must wear a helmet that meets the DOT (Department of Transportation) requirements. If you are over the age of 21, wearing a helmet is optional as long as your insurance policy covers $10,000 or more in medical benefits as a result of a motorcycle accident.
