Difficulty with a switch on certain Harley-Davidson motorcycles is the reason behind a recall that affects over 300,000 bikes.

The faulty switch can lead to brake lights not working and may even cause the rear brakes to not work. The reason this switch can malfunction is due to the amount of heat it comes into contact with from the exhaust system. Harley-Davidson estimates that this glitch can cost them up to $12 million to repair.

Notifications to owners of these malfunctioning bikes will be sent via e-mail. A switch replacement kit will be installed for free at any official Harley-Davidson dealer.

AAA has recently reported that approximately 25 percent of motorcyclists do not have a proper license to operate a motorcycle. This is due to the bikers failing to take a basic rider course in order to have their license verified.

The rider course lasts three days long and consists of basic education regarding motorcycle safety. Before July of 2008, the three day course was not required to obtain a valid motorcycle license. The laws were updated that July and currently state that the basic rider course must be completed before a motorcyclist can legally operate a motorcycle.

The 25 percent of motorcyclists who have not passed this course are at a significantly greater risk to be involved in an accident, according to the study. The course costs between $200 and $400 and is highly regarded as producing better motorcyclists.

A motorcycle accident happened Sunday afternoon leaving one dead. The accident took place in Trenton Township, Wisconsin when a motorcycle rear- ended another motorcycle.

The 51-year-old driver of the motorcycle was maneuvering the bike on Highway 63 when he collided with a motorcycle traveling in front of him. The motorcyclist was taken to a local hospital and then transported by air to another medical center. At the second medical center, the motorcyclist succumbed to his injuries and passed away.

The motorcyclist that was hit from behind was not injured during the accident.
