Do we have any 18 wheelers on this site? If so, I have a question for you. Do you even have a clue when you lose a tire? I bet I had to dodge 50 alligators in 300 miles of riding yesterday.
I had a chuck of tire the size of a golf ball hit me in the knee Saturday on I-77 at about 85 mph. My FirstGear textile looms employ a nice set of knee pads. It sort of felt like Debi hitting me when I call her, "Skank Girl." In other words, I felt it, but, it was just a little love tap. I'm just glad it missed my faster silver 12.
Good point Blitz. I have removed alligators and even an exhaust/tail pipe once that was in the road. Man that sucka was hot! I think I'll try to make a better efford to remove more debris.
