It was a criminal thing...
He had a lifted Blazer with Huge tires that stuck way out beyond the fender flares... :lecturef_smilie: That's a big no-no :lecturef_smilie:

Same gos for open wheels, Illegal on public roads even if it didn't throw a foreign object...

I love my full face helmet, thank god you had one too. Rubber down, shiny side up.

Got a reality check about an hour ago; a car about 10 carlengths in front of me threw a stone about the size of a golfball up, and it hit my faceshield hard enough to snap my head back and my ears ring. Seems I need to replace the shield, it has a scar about the size of a quarter right in front of the bridge of my nose. Trying not to think of where I'd be without the brain bucket.

You were bloody lucky.

I was out riding in the country this afternoon.

I was also very glad to have a face shield, I got hit by a couple of large bugs, they must of had gall stone, by the sound of the impact on my face shield.

3/4 helmet

I had a 3/4 helmet. Bug. Big bug. I know it was big. I retrieved it later from inside my helmet. It was dead. I have a bald head. I also have a scar on my head. A "bug scar". I had a perfect head before that bug suicided itself inside my helmet. Now my head is defective. I now permanently hate bugs.

Glad to hear the outcome was good. You just never know when this kind of incident will happen. :thumbup:

Thanks for the replies, I was able to polish out all but the deepest gouges in the face shield, but it still needs to be replaced, glad I've got a spare lid.

Bob, at over 50mph, with trees on both sides, I wouldn't be anywhere. I keep remembering a friend telling me, "You are bulletproof, until the Lord calls you home".
