Hey, I think I am going to make it! Scoot ran well today ;D I rode from Ely Nevada to Delta Utah. It was a really nice ride with the exception of the cold! When I left Ely this morning it was 22 degrees! I had to go over a few passes. Can you say BURR? I am positive the first pass was about 5 degrees! Thought I was gonna die for sure! I only have a 1/2 helmet and a pair of safety glasses. I got REALLY nervous when I got to the Utah state line, A nice little sign stated: Next services 83 miles! I made it just fine! Had to stop 5-7 times to thaw out. My temp gauge even started working intermittently a few times. Then I got into a town. I pulled out of a gas station, And heard a crash---I looked in my right mirror to see my BRAND NEW TRUNK laying in the highway! I pulled over to get it---Now what do I do? I see it's in about 50 pieces! My stuff is all over the road! I picked up my stuff and piled it in my laptop bag,and throw the trunk away. But my net book is OK. Why do they make things SO POORLY? I will be in Salt lake about 2 PM tomorrow. Night all!

Plastic gets very brittle in the cold weather, you may have got away with a Givi but cheaper boxes will not use such a careful choice of plastic.. Did you find out why it fell off BTW?
