Ever have something fly off your bike?
 

I mean, as your riding along, passing traffic. Something comes loose and flies off. I did on my trip. It just happened to be at 90mph while passing a few bikes on the way out of Wyoming.

You win extra points if you can guess what it was that flew off...

a boob?

No, mine are securely positioned. :lol:

hand guard thingy????

My bike cover. It was balled up and bungie-corded to the passenger seat. Shit came undone and inflated like a parachute. Lucky as hell it didn't fly onto someone's windshield.

Other than me... No.

Whole right fairing on my hurricane blew off accelerating past one hundred once. Little spray paint and some zipties prevented any repeat performance

A friend has a 636 that his coworker accidentally knocked over into a parked car. It cracked the front and side fairing where they meet. He drilled some holes and zip tied the thing together. I was riding behind him once and the air pressure made the plastic and zip ties fail. I had a chunk of plastic and broken zip tie come flying at me. Just cleared my right shoulder.

Had a cellphone pop off once...

Underwear.

I know many guys that had their solo seat tail cover fly off. Especially those gsxr's.

When I had my F2 I had what was pretty much the whole right lower fairing rip off at night on I-95. I didnt even notice until I got off the highway.

Exhaust can off the 83 CB750 I used to rock when I was a few years shy of half my age

Add one more to your list but on my TLS

I used to take a lot of long trips on my 929RR. On one, my backpack apparently came unzipped and I unknowingly spread my belongings along I-196 for miles. Various clothes, cologne, tooth brush, shaving gel... I guess when one of the shirts took off it carried most of my bathroom stuff with it. The next fuel stop where I realized what happened was... unpleasant.

And it wasn't off my bike, but I had a fairing fly off an R6 and try to remove me from my bike a couple years ago.

So spill it, Zoom....what flew off your bike?

My SPOT GPS tracker...

:lol:

I like my guess better.

Great writeup btw

I lost my rear cowling once. I didn't have it latched down quite right and off it came. I fortunately had an inkling it might and saw it go. I immediately stopped and picked up. Not a scratch.

Batman wrist band I was using as a reservoir cover.

Tampons?


I've just had a bungee net come off because I forgot to secure it.

im going to guess front fender, my old roommate had that happen to him

ive lost an EZ pass off my bike before on the FL turnpike. i almost caught it but it was just out of reach and wasnt about to go back for it

also had a back pack come open on me too on my way back home from bike week in daytona lost a few brand new shirts and a hat the woman bought me. locks on back packs work well haha

the rain covers for my coretech saddle/tail bag. oh... and me

Actually, shit, I forgot... I lost my license plate one time... Someone pulled up beside me and told me... I pulled over on 270 and walked about 3 miles back and found it... full gear... 90º heat... no median... semis and shit zooming by within inches... Not fun, probably should have just left it.

I lost a dozen eggs and a heated vest once. :lol:
