The bungees didn't pop, the wind was so strong it pushed the bag back over the top of the luggage rack. The cords held, but they were strapped side to side, not front to back, letting the bag slide backwards along the rails.

I'll be strapping the replacement one down much, much tighter.

+1 for rockclimbing babe and warmed cockles. That woulda been a nice end to the day.

Jeez, man, Loki is your copilot. :) I'm glad it wasn't catastrophic failure or anything (insofar as you or the bike is concerned).

I assume that big hole/cutout on the exhaust was there prior to the bag butting up against it? I'm sure the chunky bits will come off just fine. Hopefully the finish will polish out too, if such things concern you.

What actually happened, anyway? Did one of the bungees pop or something? I have that same tailbag, so enquiring minds want to know.

Damn, bad luck my friend. I'm glad you had a good ...

Damn, bad luck my friend. I'm glad you had a good time around Devil's Tower and the Black Hills area though. I had a mad driving day yesterday, and am actually in Ann Arbor, Michigan now. I'll be here for a day or two and then into Canada. Keep your chin up, tomorrow's another day!

Wow, crazy burn story. I finally got the addy from Brian. So I need to catch up on your adventure now. Good luck.

The best ending to that day would have been if the gas station attendant was a hot rockclimbing babe that took you out for a cold beer and warmed the cockles of your heart with her dimples and compasion for you.

Hey Brad, Sorry to see the damage on your bag.

Hey Brad, Sorry to see the damage on your bag.

A Great story would be to add you being chased by galactic empire storm troopers looking for the lost diagrams of the death star. No wait thats already been done

Ok how about a really pissed of Grandma chased your arse down the highway firing a lazer cannon at ya, and your new light speeder out ran her

Ya that will work

Glad you having a great time Brad, Ride Safe Ride Smart

Yeah I wonder how long it was melting like that? That exhaust would be pretty hot. Maybe not that long?

Yeah, they honked, and Brad game 'em the finger! heh..

A fitting end for the electric vest. At least it finally got warm.

Oh man, that sucks! Tailbag flambe - Thats a new one! I can't believe nobody noticed the smoke or honked at you.
