Like someone wrote in that article:

He can't blame the dealer. His brain obviously fell out long before his crash.

But too I know my friends rear brakes went out and you do loose stopping power considerably when coming down from a high speed to stopped in a hurry. I rode his kaw with aftermarket rear calipers that just gripped the hairy hell out of the rotors so much so that I used the front brake much more than the rear.
Still the shop must test ride the bikes to make sure that it is in working order. For sure he will win the lawsuit and will he be ahead? Who knows if he is crippled after who cares how much money you get. Your health is always first. The brunt of the responsibility is on him for sure but still the shop carries the blame as well.
Whatever too bad he got hurt. Good maybe this will make novice riders be more cautious or keep fools who think bikes are cars off of the road. I love buying bikes at half the price from people who never ride them because they get "scared" and leave them alone.
