Description of the problem	I purchased a 2008 harley davidson street glide in august of 2008. All was great until june 2009 a few weeks after the 5000 mile service. I was riding the motorcycle to work and it simply shut off, after several minutes it restarted. I let it go thinking it was just a fluke, but after several weeks it happen again. Then, after several more weeks, again. I took it to a dealer 7/28/09 and they kept it a week and said they could find nothing wrong or duplicate the problem. I took the bike home and again, a few weeks later, it shut off on the way to work. It happened every few weeks. The last time i had just passed a truck on a two lane road with no shoulder. The truck came so close it almost hit me. I took the harley to the same shop, they said they had nobody to work on it for a week, so i took it home and parked it for a week. I decided to take it to the dealer who had done the 5000 mile service. I took it 9/18/09 and they kept it for a week. They say they can find nothing wrong and can't duplicate the problem either. I contacted harley factory customer service and they say they can do nothing for me. I feel the next time the bike dies i might not be so lucky.
