That and not putting your kickstand down before you try airing up your flat tire

no... the kickstand was down... but the bike was resting balanced on the rim... not the kickstand like I thought. and with the exhaust being both heavy and on the opposite side of the kick stand... that's the side it fell to.

ahh joy

Another choice that I'm looking at, looks like the twisted throttle bag, but $50 less

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...-Tail-Bag.aspx

Found it cheaper at dennis kirk

http://www.denniskirk.com/1/1/121175...g-1001791.html


And another great place to meet is the harley place right over the deleware memorial bridge. Plus it would be kinda funny to tell the harley crowd that we are shooting down to GA for the weekend.

That first bag looks prety good and twisted throttle makes good stuff. A friend of mine from CF works for them too. I am hoping to see him at the bike show this weekend.

The assless chaps crowd would think you're insane, and the lone 'stich wearer would say "just a day ride."

they would hate us for being on crotch rockets too. Derf has a 954 and I am on an aprilia futura ( or at least plan to be) so they dont know what to make of that I tell people its an aprilia then ask is it a ducati

Tommy, your bike looks like akira could be riding it.

I just thought the harley shop might be a funny place to meet.

And those bags that I posted, I think that they are the same as the twisted throttle one, they look the same except for the colors. I would bet money that its the same manufacturer with a different name stuck on the bag. They both have the same specs, general design, and generally look the same.
