Default Anyone ever hit a hard hat doing 50mph?
I did today...fell off a guys truck and I had no where to swerve. Hit it fair and square, and felt it ricochet just under the drivers seat. No Damage to the panzer!! It split into a few pieces on the road. There's another advantage to the belly pan!

Thanks! I think the extra tread depth of the Dunlop Wintersport M3's saved me.
