When I went down it wasn't the case, my ankle was pinned between the bike and a curb. Fractured one of the ankle bones.between the sliders and bags, my legs were well protected. Now I leave them on.
and Yet your avatar shows your bike without the bags. :clapping:I ride with mine on about 85% of the time. If I am headed out for a short jaunt and the bags will be empty, I take them off and go with the tank bag. Short jaunts just don't seem to be my thing, hence me buying the FJR, and I am not a big fan of having a backpack on so most the time the bags are with me.

+1 for bags again. Yesterday I was on the FJR on Park Road 4 near Marble Falls Texas - a beautiful hilly road in some of the best Texas hill country. Longhorn Caverns are out there and so is Inks Lake State Park.[SIZE=14pt]ATBATT[/SIZE]

I commute daily with the bags, too much stuff for work. Plus I HATE wearing a back pack during the warm weather! The bags don't bother me when I split lanes.I just want to through this out to the collective wisdom.When riding 2 up the bike was sluggish, well yeah, it's overloaded.
But I removed the Hard Bags to try and lighten the load.
To my surprise the handling improved 100%.
Empty the 2 bags weigh about 25 pounds, so that shouldn't affect the
handling that much.
I bought the FJR mainly because of the Hard Bags and the top Case.
But now I'm riding with only the top case, even when I'm riding solo.
The Bags are sitting in my Garage, and looking very sad.
A year ago I saw a add for a FJR where the bike and the bags were being
sold seperately, the saler said the bags had never been used, that the bike
had always been riden without the bags. At the time I thought this was kinda
wierd, but I'm really geting a kick out of the bike without the bags.
So who else usually rides without the bags?
That's the rumor but watch out. Next thing someone will try to tell you the bike has needs a fifth gear or something.The bags come off???? :dribble:
Heh, I've never hit the rev limiter in fourth gear so I don't see how someone could logically tell me the bike needs a fifth gear...unless they're smoking crack. :crazy:That's the rumor but watch out.
