It's a test the MoCo imposes to see if you're worthy to be admitted to the Harley brotherhood. Kinda like Buick carding you to see if you're over 60 before they will sell you a car.

Last fall I hada guy pass me on the highway, he was doing about 100 plusand his right bag opened all by itself, proceeded to let a few things fly in the wind...he had one of those big paper license plates on the back of the bike too...maybe he will pop in and tell us how he opened his at 100 mph plus

Now I know how to get a quick response around here... ask a really pathetic question. Now I need a support group, counseling, and a Suzuki 125
Don't do anything that drastic, calm down. Have a few cold ones..................

You guys that are poking fun at jcbpa probably haven't taken your bags off, closed them up, then tried to reopen.
It can be a bitch. I'm very careful not to totally close them when off the bike for cleaning or whatever.
