a leaf coming at your helmet can be frightening.

At 120mph in broad daylight.........a bird can do a nasty number to the fairing on a late model Gixxer 600 (just ask my brother-in-law).


At 60mph any time of day.........grass clippings feel like broken glass when hitting you in the face.

a rock wedged between the rear tires on a dump truck will cause noticeable discomfort when it comes out and hits your shin at 65 mph.

At 75 mph, a large bug hit my little finger...thought I broke it. Actually brought instant tears to my eyes. BTW... not broken.
Ride safe...God bless!

Nothing like remembering a hail storm in the days before helmet laws... :shock:

At 70mph, I got pelted by leakage from a sewage truck. No damage or injuries sustained but my beloved R90S Beemer was coated with brown filth and I smelled hoooorible. Got home and immediately threw my outfit in the washer, took a shower, and washed my bike. Felt dirty the rest of the day.
