Why Quick Detachable bags.
I've given a lot of thought to this and I'm really wondeing if having QD bags is worth the extra effort. It's very seldom that I ride now that I'm not looking for a place to put stuff. I'm just wondering if they wouldn't stay on the bike more than off. So if you have QD bags, how much time are they on/off the bike? 50/50?

Washing/cleaning/servicing the bike it's nice to have them off and set to the side. I don't think I have ever taken a ride with The Wife and not had the bags on there. If I'm just zippin' around town, I'll leave em off if they are already off.
But I'd say 80/20 for on/off the bike.

Everybody has an opinion on this, me included.
I used to keep the bags on all the time, but my preferences have changed.
Now its leave the bags off, and only put them on when I need to have them.
Used to be 80/20, now its 10/90. Especially since I have all that polished aluminum on the rear I MUST show off.
