RE: stupid stupid stupid stupid
I always mount from the right side, so I make it a habit to visually check the latches before getting on. Never HAVE left the tour pack open....but I rode to work last week with one of the saddlebags open.......dammit.[:@]

RE: stupid stupid stupid stupid
the bags and tour pak get latched every time they're closed. Even if I'm going to open them again in 3 seconds. No exceptions.
Stupid often enough and you develop OCD.
