    I know of a guy in a slightly similar situation, where rather than clipping his side bags, his rear tire slipped out from under him. As the rear swung out, the bags hit the side walls of the narrow bridge he was passing, and actually buffeted him back upright, thus avoiding a fall.

    haha oh I shouldn't laugh... having done loads of yacht racing I know exactly how unpleasant a fall in a boat cockpit can be.
    Still though .. it was kinda funny.

    Ah well, look at the bright side - at least he didn't have the bike landing on top of him!

    Although there's no chance that even a full compliment of luggage buoyancy would keep an FJR from making like a submarine.
