Yeah, I hate that crap. I just hate when they pass you on the highway and then get right in front of you and pelt you with sand and rocks!!! Thats always fun!!!

Yeah thankfully I have yet to catch any debris, but I dont ride on the highway that much. Always good when you catch a bumblebee in the visor though and they pop so loud you think someone shot you with a .22

A few years back, I was riding my Valkyrie (honda cruiser for those that don't know) and was in the center lane stuck behind an 18-wheeler.

I was just getting a clearing in one of the lanes to pass him when he kicked up a 4x4 board about 6 ft long. I had no chance to avoid it.It landed cross ways right it front of me and I just kind of gritted my teeth and held on. Went right over it, the front tire kicked it up into my frame and then I went over it with my rear tire. It really wasn't hard to keep it up since I hit it fairly square, but I was sure I was going to have some damage underneath. I pulled off, checked everything out the best I could and nothing was leaking. Finished my ride into work and checked her out when I got home and all I could find was a dented oil filter.

Oh yah.... I also had to change my boxers!
