Stopped in roadway for a big rig slow right turn and this kid hits me from behind. He was almost stopped, must have served right and only hit my right saddle bag. Bag goes flying ,I get a little push and stay upright. I'm OK. Bag has some scratches, needs paint. Absolutely no other damage to me or bike. Thank God. Bag still locks in place. Go figure.
 
Did he have a phone in his hand...?
I'm surprised the saddlebag wasn't busticated.
Glad you survived this one!
 
Maybe you got lucky and had unwittingly left the bag unlocked. So maybe the kid did you a favor by hitting you????
 
i think the 1300 is different from 1100
The ST1100 saddlebag setup is completely different from the ST1300.
The ST1100 bags hang on a rail and are locked by a lock down at the bottom of the bag where there is a 'hook' on the bag that the lock goes over.
The ST1300 has a mechanism on the grab handles IIRC.
