I really like the idea of top loading bags as stuff doesn't fall out. Though you do have to dig. <br /><br />I'd be concerned about the height of the tailbag both crosswinds and weight. Is it about as high as a person?RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-56543845193480230872015-07-11T08:11:10.682-04:002015-07-11T08:11:10.682-04:00Sonja, this partnership has opened new experiences...Sonja, this partnership has opened new experiences for me that otherwise would never have been. <br /><br />So far all the benefits have been for me. <br /><br />The pleasures will soon be balanced when you take the bike on its first tour. <br /><br />This is truly a huge win-win :)David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7776318709416054670.post-38222306649663063532015-07-11T01:41:35.621-04:002015-07-11T01:41:35.621-04:00David, somehow I feel guilty about leaving all the...David, somehow I feel guilty about leaving all the work to you, while I get to reap the benefits. Thank you for all your efforts. Those bags look really awesome, sleek and elegant, and I can't wait to take them on the road. With a little luck in seven weeks time... and I am very happy that Motorcycle House became our partners in crime for this project.SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.com
