Rapid Transit Recon 19, had it for 3 seasons going on 4. It's Perfect for all I've needed it for. Best part it doesn't get in they way when in full tuck @ 45mph. http://www.motorcyclegear.com/parts/luggage/tank_bags/rapid_transit/recon_19_magnetic_motorcycle_tank_bag.html

I think what everybody is missing is that everyone on the local level is going to be hit by this. How is that? Let's ask Gov. Scott Walker who is using the same tactics that will be used here as soon as this bill passes. Local governments will be given the flexibility to manage their employees in a better fashion. (cut wages, raise insurance contributions while decreasing the policy, raise pension contributions) Therefore leaving more money in the budgets for the cities, counties and townships to use. Now hang on kids, this is where it gets fun....when the city does its budget, which has to be balanced, and they show a surplus, the state will roll back the local government funds that they disperse to the locals. This in turn fills the $4 billion a year state deficit, but rolls it back locally.....where it will hurt all of us. Not just me, a city worker, but everyone. When your local government has to raise taxes to cover their part of the burden from lost local government funds we will all share the burden. This kind of crap started with Taft by the abolishment of the personal property tax, and replacing it with the Commercial Activity Tax. Good for the business, bad for the people. Cities lot tax revenue because business no longer paid taxes on inventory, but rather only the things they bought and sold. Our FD alone lost $235k from its budget. We have managed to survive through concessions, and working short staffed. We work with our administration, not against it. Had to edit, because I forgot my Walker reference. After the bill passed last week, 1 day later, in his budget, he cut local level government funding by $1.8 Billion.

Popeye da sailor's sister.
