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.

MY HUSBAND SPENT DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL AND MANY MORE AT HOME

MY PROBLEM CONSISTS OF A JERKISH FEELING FROM DE-ACCELERATE TO ACCELERATION. I WAS RIDING HOME FROM LATE DINNER WITH SOME FRIENDS AROUND MIDNIGHT, WAS COMING TO A CORNER WHERE I NOTICED WATER FROM NEAR SPRINKLERS, I THEN LET OFF MY GAS TO SLOW DOWN TO COME INTO THE TURN, AS I STARTED TO GIVE IT GAS AGAIN, IT SHARPLY SPED UP CAUSING ME TO LOW SIDE FROM THE CORNER.
