Temp was 61 degrees here on Thursday. Changed my oil and corrected tire pressures on Wed. night after a long three months in the shed. Rita and I hit the road at about noon and did my favorite nearby loop (approx. 100 miles) on some back roads. Found my grin on some of the twisties (they're not really but the closest thing I have around here) and was in a great mood when I got home so decided to rake the yard. When I got done and walked back into the garage I was dumbfounded to see my lovely Rita sitting there sans her rightside Vetter saddlebag! WTF?
How in the world could a hard saddlebag fall off and me be completely oblivious? Next morning I drove some of the route before work but it was still dark so didn't see anything; after work I drove some more of it but by then it was snowing pretty heavily. We got a couple of inches on the ground now but it's supposed to be around 50 tomorrow so I probably drive it again and hope for the best!

Yikes! I'm looking at setting up a nice digital SLR kit, I'll have to make sure I engineer some sort of very, very secure mounting system for gear. Pretty good endorsement of the camera though, I can't think of too many devices that complex that would survive a 70 mph fall, much less work afterwards. I had a Canon film SLR that I barely bumped and knocked the prism out of place.
