Ya that's brown rice falling out. These bags were supposedly designed for sport bikes with upright facing exhausts and apparently are specially lined to be heat resistant and able to sit in front of the exhaust.

Came home from a grocery run to find that my frozen salmon fillets were fully thawed, my sweet potatoes transformed into baked potatoes, my cinnamon sticks became charcoal, and my rice bag melted ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I've done groceries maybe a dozen times with these bags without issue but I guess the bag got a little too close to the exhaust. I spent all day today scraping dried molten plastic off my exhaust pipes and trying to pull rice out of my exhaust baffles (only got 2 grains out ๐Ÿ˜ฃ).

Lol the saddle bag melting should be the least of your worries. You're coating the bag and everything inside of it with cancer causing chemicals. Even if it didnt melt you'd be eating straight cancer for dinner

What, you're telling me that exhaust flavoured food might have health concerns???

I tossed everything in that bag. Not very interested in some specially seasoned salmon, sweet potato, and rice ๐Ÿ˜

Here's the sweet potato:
