I just used mine for the first time last weekend. No problems at all, just fasten it well, 350 miles and mine did not move at all. It seemed to knock the wind off my chest and face quite a bit...was not expecting that!

P.S. not the one in my sig pic, but a t-bag of approx the same size as the Saddleman.

I've been doing weekends out of one for years. Mines a 10x20 and holds more than I use in a couple of days.Like above tie it to the upper tree and bars and hit the road.

Not yet, but it will. I used black electrical tape on the trees to protect them.

I ran one on my StreetBob; used sport wrap on the bars where I attached the bungie cords. It does the job.
