Yesterday, I put the tank bag on the bike for the first time. While on the bike, I was maneuvering the bike around my driveway to get the mike out of the garage and close the door with the keypad by the door. So, a lot of see-sawing of the bars.
I found out that the bag was positioned exactly in the right place to hit the horn button on the left and the emergency flashers on the right. So my neighbors, if they were paying attention, got to see me alternatively honking my horn and turning my flashers on and off. My wife came to the door to see what the hell was going on. I quickly departed to avoid any further humiliation. Next time, I put the bag slightly lower on the tank - problem solved.
