[QUOTE="biknflyfisher, post: 577415, member: 14237"] davidsbmw: I checked for cars front & back prior to the speed run. Once at speed, there was a huge gap between myself and my Dad behind me on his Gold Wing (a mile or more), so even if a bag had come off (which they can't due to a sliding lock mechanism), he had plenty of time to avoid the carnage (me and the said bag). Mamma Yamma does indeed have a speed noted that you should not exceed with bags attached, and I was well beyond that. However, an H-D at 90 and an FJR at 140 is still not a fair comparison for stuff coming off. The FJR with it's slipstream lines is much more aerodynamic - the H-D at 90 is like moving an anvil through the air, the FJR at 140 is like a bullet (I am not beating up H-Ds, as I had a Dyna which served me great prior to the feejer). Ciao. [/QUOTE]
