Just scored a free cortech tank bag.  :-). Now I got to figure out how to tie it.  Years ago I left my DP tank bag in Phoenix and still wish I didn't forget it there.  This kind of makes up 4 it.
620M 2004 Dark i.e.; ~ 57K miles (all me);  Looking to swap out engine now.
Triumph Speed Triple 2006 (now ~ 44K miles bought @ 4K miles on 04/2010)
Honda Grom 2015 ~ 3500miles so far.  Love this lil bike

This happened to a friend of mine on his zx14, he had all his stuff under a bungee net, it slipped and got wrapped up in the rear sprocket and locked his wheel at 80mph, he kept it under control for about 300ft and then the wheel slipped and he high sided. He usually only wore 3/4 helmets, but he was on a long trip and his girlfriend made him get a full face for it. When he high sided, he landed on his face, he caught a lucky break there. Somehow he got away with a broken collarbone and a broken rib and a tiny bit of rash on his arm. It could have been much, much worse seeing that his riding jacket was under the net and he was in a t-shirt and jeans.
