FIRE and DESTRUCTION but not in a cool way. 3000 Miles on the Indian Scout Bobber didn't end well

2900 miles into my 3200 mike motorcycle road trip just 240, my tank bag with all my memory cards of the last seven days and a few other things, fly of my Indian Scout Bobber. The high winds in Baker CA finally caused my first and really only issue on the whole trip. I still have a few clips from my phone that will be more about the trip in a different video. Thank for watching
