It always pays to secure luggage on your bike with more straps that you think you'll need.

Good to see ya out there Kev, well havent seen ya but ya know what i mean, hope that little black beauty is treatn' ya ok? Great story mate, one has the right to feel a pillick every now and then, i have pillicked myself 2-3 times, grabbing a handful of throttle in a public area in nuetral does it. Thats when the lid stayes on just a little bit longer, but getting off the bike and forgetting the foot stand is up there also up there. Im sure the people in the shop would have come and helped , once they picked themselves up off the floor from laughing that is. Dont worry, it wasnt the GN it be my Yammy. Cheers mate
