Where Did You Take Your Slingshot Today?

    Quote from SoCal

    Frankie55 thank you for all the kind words!


    Somewhere prior I have posted about these bags but I was never able to find out exactly who made them. However they have a plastic roll inside that form fits the entire bag and gives it strength and form whether they are empty or full. Later on today I will give it one more try and perhaps pull that plastic insert out and see if there’s anything underneath it that would give me a hint as to what they are. I bought these bags back in 2004-5 I believe, and a little armor all and they look as good as new even today. As I have said in a prior thread I took them off my old motorcycle and put them on here for a trip and liked them so much I never took them off.

    Everytime someone mentions those roll bags of yours, I'm always on the edge of my seat in hopes you'll respond with what they are... 😆


    I searched for them, a while back and I thought they might be Saddlemen or Viking, but I was never able to narrow it down precisely.

    Most of these bags come in three sizes. The tube bags start at about 20 inch long and about 10 inch in dia. This was the size that I built my luggage racks for. A couple of years ago I bought the medium size kind a square bag with the top opening at bike week in Myrtle Beach but they are almost too big I think unless you are going to spend a couple weeks on the road.

    completely agree! Every time this subject comes up I am tempted to look for and have on occasion a larger bag for when we take trips. The ones I have now are really convenient but I larger bag for a road trip would be nice. And when you consider 200 to 300 dollars compared to $3500 for the Corbin bags, of which I would love to find a pair at a reasonable price, but I have too much Scottish blood in me to go in that direction right now.

    We’ll get there when we get there and not a minute before. 😎

    I feel you on this! I own them. They are about 40 feet from me right now! And I don’t know where they come from! 🤪


    On the other hand the slingshot is very angular and the round bags I believe I would switch out if I found a set of bags that were perhaps a little larger and had the angles that would complement the slingshot.

    I think I gave $20 each for the two tube bags with a bunch of patches on them in Maggie Valley Leather shop and I think it as $65 each for the large bags

    Went to see my 90 year old cousin. Only 20 miles away, but haven't seen him in a year. His assisted living facility was locked down, but if you have a vaccine card, you can now go in.

    He gave his car to his son last summer.

    Like looking into a crystal ball.

    Not very exciting, but I got to go to the bank today. Thing is, I didn't go to MY bank, I instead took a little detour for lunch and drove to a bank about 20 miles away instead. Didn't even get out of the SS - just rolled thru the drive-thru ATM, deposited some cash, then drove back. Did stop at Andy's Frozen Custard and got myself a Round Rock Express Concrete for lunch since I had a $5 reward to use. (Hey! I was good - I ate an apple for lunch first!).

    My bank's drive through ATM is to high to reach when in the Sling. I haven't tried the drive throughs at the fast food places yet. I day I washed Sally and decided I better start putting the cover on her as there was to many leaves in her interior. Beautiful day for a ride it is 82 and sunny. Just a light breeze.

    If the music is to loud you are to old.
