MISHLER BMW OF BEAVER DAM, WI INSTALLED A NEW PAIR OF METZLER ME880 TIRES ON MY 2000 BMW K1200 LT MOTORCYCLE RIMS ON AUGUST,5 2005. I INSTALLED THESE RIMS ON AUGUST,6 2005 AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE APPOX. FIVE MILES. WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY THE BIKE STARTED TO SLIDE OUT FROM UNDERNEATH ME, I PUT MY RIGHT LEG DOWN IN AN ATTEMPT TO SUPPORT THE BIKE. THIS RESULTED IN A FRACTURE TO MY ANKLE AND LOWER LEG. I BELIEVE THIS ACCIDENT WAS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE RELEASE AGENT USED TO UNMOLD THE TIRES DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS STILL ON THE TIRE. *JB
