I crashed and totaled my 2008 in a low speed curve covered with gravel. The armored jacket, glove and boots did their job not to mention the helmet kept my melon intact and attached. I did not have the saddlebags on when I crashed and turned over both sets of keys to the insurance company before realizing I should have kept one set. Does anyone have any use for a locked set of saddlebags? I haven't listed on Craig's List yet.
