Al and other riders- just a suggestion for the future. It would be very easy to rig up a warning light and/or buzzer if a bag was not attached. Sailing boats use man overboard alarms that activate if a personal unit goes more than a programmed dustance from the base - however a cheap alternative can be a simple continuity plug where the bag has to be unplugged to remove it at which point the alarm light would come on. If you get back on the bike and don't plug in the bag the alarm light woukd be on and. You could rig a relay to operate a loud buzzer if you start the bike without the bag. This wouldn't cost more than $10 to make.
