Honda NC750X tire fiasco leaves US riders fuming as safety fears explode
Honda faces a significant safety concern with its 2024 NC750X motorcycles. The company discovered that 112 bikes have dangerous tire problems that could lead to crashes. These motorcycles were produced between February and August last year. The trouble comes from faulty tires made by Sumitomo, a Japanese supplier. The tire maker changed its tire-building process in early 2024, which weakened the internal structure. The defective tires can fall apart from the inside, making them unsafe to ride. Honda acted quickly when it discovered the problem. They stopped selling the affected bikes and told all their dealers about the issue. The company has sent out safety warnings and will provide dealers with more detailed instructions next month...

Ancelotti dodges jail after Spain court finds Brazil boss guilty of tax fraud
Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti faces one year behind bars after courts found him guilty of tax fraud. The 66-year-old coach hid money from his image rights back when he managed Real Madrid in 2014. Spanish judges said he tried to cheat the tax office out of more than £833,000. Courts cleared him of similar charges from 2015 during his time at the same club. The veteran manager strongly denies doing anything wrong. Ancelotti will likely never see the inside of a prison cell despite his conviction. Spanish law rarely sends people to jail for sentences under two years when they commit non-violent crimes. The rule applies even more when defendants have clean criminal records like the former AC Milan coach. He can probably pay a fine...
