topcase separated from baseplate & smashed on road!!!

[kmrcstintn]

I have no idea how it happened, but the locking latch that held my Scootr Logic topcase to the baseplate bent & failed and my topcase came off the scooter and smashed on the road; I am thankful no one was driving/riding behind me and that I didn't have any cargo in it;

I am P.O.'d that substandard materials were used (non-hardened steel for the locking latch) and now I am out $75 and I have to either resort to a milk crate or spend more money to replace my topcase; I had a Givi topcase on my Piaggio BV 250 and an EMCO topcase on my Rattler 110 and both survived the potholed and dipsy-doo'd roads of southcentral PA...what the hell happened with the Scootr Logic case?!?

Wow! Major bummer. I'm glad you and other drivers were okay.

What a pain.

Yikes that really sucks! Thank goodness that you had nothing in there.

I've always been so afraid that would happen to me that I often just reach behind me and check on the case. Just to make sure it is not getting loose.

LOL! Me too.

I think you found the weak link in the chain. Glad to hear no one was behind you...My Givi stuff has held up well for me over the years.
