I was on the capital beltway today w/wife (in the car) on the way to get crabs on the chesapeake bay. I noticed a lot of bikes out today (theyre never around when I ride!). Lots of guys with open faced helmets. I mentioned to her that I'm surprised that ppl wear them because if u get hit by a bug/beetle you're going to encounter pain. I told her the other day I hit one w/ my fullface and scared the **** out of me, I couldn't imagine how that would feel if it hit my face. Or a rock, ffs. Next thing I know, I see a bunch of cruisers and a couple of sportbikes pulled over near the mormon temple, and sure enough, one guy is standing, keeled over holding his face with a couple other guys trying to help him. Talk about the odds of discussing this and actually seeing it happen! Amazing. I hope the guy is ok. Ive had a rock spit at me from an 18 wheeler and hit my windshield, making the most incredible bang Ive ever heard.
Those of u who wear half helmets, keep far enough behind cars/trucks and wear heavy duty glasses!! That poor guy may have lost an eye!
