tie down your tool-kit
i have screws, screw drivers, zip-ties, wrenches....and the other popular tools in my tool bag which i keep in my tail.
i added a small psi gauge into the bag yesterday, and it didn't close properly, i thought it'd be fine.
so we went around killin the streets, when we got to a red light, my buddy said i u dropped a wrench, but then he said u prolly ran over it...and i thought that there was no way it was my wrench.
anyway, 30 minutes later, we pull up to a gas station, i take off the passenger seat to get some zip-ties, and watta you know, the bag is open...
...all that was left were 3 alan tools (out of a whole set), and my electrical tape.
...out of a FULL bag of tools.
...so ya, keep that ship strapped down.

ya...BIG TIME!
....or (just thought of this)...if you don't can't strap it to anything, put a single zip-tie, around it to keep it from opening. there is no way that big-o bag is getting out.

on an '01 gsxr1000, one of the alan wrenches came out from the bag that was loose and arched the battery to the frame, killed the bike instantly. took me awhile to figure out what happened, but you could see the burn marks from it.

Dont keep your sunglasses back there either. Left a new pair of utopia's in there figuring it was safe in its little baggy. NOPE, it wiggled its way out and got scratched up.

Man you wanna know something stupid.... I had a keychain full of stuff and I put it back in my trunk and went to wheelie.... everything fell out. I only secured the back end of the trunk, not the front and i guess sometime during the wheelie it fell out. Lost the keys to my car, my apartment, mailbox, parents house, friends house, etc everything.
