Default Re: Tough windshield

Glad you guys were ok! I learned the value of wearing a full face helmet for riding motorcycles last year. Little county road, I'm going about 65 mph, a truck coming towrd me kicked up a rock about 3/4 the sixe of a golf ball. I saw that thing coming straight at me like it was laser guided . It hit me at about 110 mph combined velocity right above the visor on the right side of my forehead. That would have probably killed me instantly had I not had the helmet on, or at the very least knocked me completely senseless off the bike. As it was it was like a rifle shot, but it just glanced off my helmet with only a scratch to the helmet skin. I tore the helmet apart to see if there was an internal damage and didn't seee any-must have hit just right. I was very lucky that day
. You all were too. Mark
