Ease of removing mount for handlebar bags

I've not had a chance to see how a handlebar bag mounts to a bike, and if it's easy to remove the mount when not using the bag, and I was wondering if you could respond. I have drop bars with Ultegra 10 (cables are under tape).

I'm planning on some credit card touring and may get a handlebar bag. I looked at the Ortlieb 5 (classic/compact) and in the PDF instructions it looks like you 'tie' down the mount to your handlebar...is this correct? What if I want to remove the mount, is it possible to re-attach another day? Is the answer the same for most bags?

As you can tell, I would like a bag where the mount system can be removed and used again and again. I don't have a touring bike and I don't want the mount left there when I'm not using it.

Thanks!
