    I know of this guy who rides in the snow with a wheelchair on the back.

    Do you get rocks and such kicking up on corners when you have no front fenders, I wear a fullface but just did not know how much flew up when you were riding on dirt roads and stuff?

    Awsome amount of miles man.
    I am existing right now, would give anything to live again. Fix my sci and you have everything I own.

    definitely happens. I got in to the habit of preparing myself for the hit and/or taking it easy on turns if I see debri. The worst was a day when I wan on road that had that asphalt material that they leave loose for cars to flatten down. I changed lanes hard to pass a guy and the loose asphalt came up on me in a rooster tail... it was already packed down in general area but loose in the sections in between... really taught me a lesson.

    Thanks for the info, as that is the way they repave most of the roads around here and I was wondering what would happen with no fenders.
    Very Happy Spyder Ryder!
