On another site i frequent one of the members recently had a little run-in witha rock, figured you guys would want to see it..
the story:
"We were riding back from aerotech going towards halifax, i was in the back of the pack as we pass sackville on the bi high and all of a sudden rocks are on the road... lots of them, couldn't seem them until you were up close cause it was dark out. Everyone tries to avoid hitting them, but to my luck the bike in front of me catches one on the side of the tire spitting it up at me, i could actually see it coming but had no time to react (keeping in mind I was keeping a good distance behind the guy too). The next thing I hear is CLICK, i lean over and see a little crack in my headlight, no big deal i thought until we stopped for gas, this huge ass rock was still in my headlight.
Many of you have seen the damage done to my bike, but everyone keeps asking how big was the rock...we'll the pics below speak for themselves. "
the pics:
imagine taking that boulder in the visor? or on the knee or even in the chest? Luckily it hit the bike though.
