You've Got To Be Kidding!!!!!!!!!!!

That was the look on Harley Man's face as we pulled over onto the edge of the Interstate.  Here it was, a cool, crisp day and we were leathered up and riding on his Harley to meet the other H.O.G. members for the annual Polar Bear ride.  I was on the back enjoying the view and thinking about what a great ride we'd have and the delicious food we would eat New Year's Day!!!

Suddenly there was a clank..then a clash and then we both looked back and what to our wondering eyes did we see but the saddlebag of his Harley sliding across the right lane of the Interstate.  Yep...it came off as we were cruising around 65 miles an hour!!!!

How it happened, why it happened...we were both clueless.  Harley Man had opened the saddlebags prior to leaving our garage..making sure we had our rain suits and some other items.  There was no shaking, no rattling; it was as secure as could be.  No way the thing should have come off unless someone blasted it off!!!!

Needless to say...we were so lucky no one ran over it or hit it!!!  I mean the thing came off the right side of the bike and slid to the right (which was an entry ramp onto the highway)....thank heavens!!!  Harley Man ran...picked it up and put it back on the bike.  Once we met up with our H.O.G. friends, he checked both bags and for the rest of the day had that look on his face!   Especially as he looked at the scratches, dents and messed up paint job!!!!!!!!!!!
