Default Stolen saddlebag

Well this just sucks. Some CorkSoaker took one of my saddlebags - just one. Insurance will pay for a replacement (only one) but since they won't watch I am picking up a new set from HD. Should have tossed the other in the trash.

Idiot. And just how do you sell off a single saddlebag after you steal it?

The loser probably dropped or crashed his bike and screwed up one bag, on one side of the bike.

Can you buy just one saddlebag? I would think they would be sold in pairs.

The only good thief is a dead or seriously maimed thief. I have my dog, you can't even walk in my driveway without him alerting me. Then my garage is right outside of bedroom window. If my dog alerts I have plenty of weapons and that will be one thief that doesn't get away either or make it to another day to steal from anyone else. They are either going to be fed upon by my dog or get a serious case of lead infection. I have a sign on both my house and garage and it read's, " My doors are locked for YOUR protection, not mine". There are NO warning shot's fired either.

That sucks, man. Keep your eye on ebay, I've seen single saddle bags for sale ont here plenty of times. You might find the a hole who took it.

A couple of years ago someone stole the tail light off the dyna I had at the time, in broad daylight.
