Plurple...been there done that...on baggers!!!!... otherwise yer sittin for HOURS!.... Also figured out after visiting Napa.... It sorta helps if you down a couple bottles... ;~)
Later...Wooly
It is a little trickier on baggers to be sure! But if I've been making time all day, then suddenly get caught in a stand-still on the slab, I want to keep air flowing over my motor. It happens!
The last time I threaded the needle with my bagger I was behind schedule to get to a welcome home mission, so I had my flag poles on the bike. I wasn't flying the flags, otherwise I would have worried about them getting tangled up in someone's mirror--that would be interesting! But traffic wasn't moving, so I was making some very aggressive lane changes and worked my way to my exit as quick (and as safely) as I could. I wasn't going too fast when passing between tractor trailors though, given the 6 foot pole I had on each saddle bag.
