Default Ever have something fly off your bike?

I mean, as your riding along, passing traffic. Something comes loose and flies off. I did on my trip. It just happened to be at 90mph while passing a few bikes on the way out of Wyoming.

You win extra points if you can guess what it was that flew off...

My bike cover. It was balled up and bungie-corded to the passenger seat. Shit came undone and inflated like a parachute. Lucky as hell it didn't fly onto someone's windshield.

Whole right fairing on my hurricane blew off accelerating past one hundred once. Little spray paint and some zipties prevented any repeat performance

A friend has a 636 that his coworker accidentally knocked over into a parked car. It cracked the front and side fairing where they meet. He drilled some holes and zip tied the thing together. I was riding behind him once and the air pressure made the plastic and zip ties fail. I had a chunk of plastic and broken zip tie come flying at me. Just cleared my right shoulder.
