Default RE: ate a rock at 55mph

to clear a few things up, the house is on the highway so 55mph was the speed limit. The guys knew he did it, he heard it hit. This isrual Indiana people are pretty decent folks. The rock did not hit me but the front of the bike. The good news the guy in front of me didn;t have a shield so that could have been bad news for him. The dealer sent the est. $486.00 to replace it. It does suck that the bike only has ab out 300 miles on it , but I guess that is one of many road scars....
