Greetings from the High Desert of Central Oregon

Oh I give a great deal about the bike!
Like I said ..... Im not running the bags daily and in fact there probably only going to be on the bike 3 or 4 times a year .
No sand here in bend , just dust .
The clear plastic was something I was considering .

As a owner of a european / asian auto repair shop here in Bend Oregon , maintenance and quality are very very very high on my list.
This bike is pristine and I plan to keep it that way !
