flyin object. It was large enough for me to see it coming toward me. It did make a lovely 'ping'
Think my first one was big enough also to see it coming - loud ding as it hit the cowbell and put a nice dent in it. Not too bad, no paint involved.
Next was big enough to see it coming and smack the fairing, in front of my left hand, just the clear coat, so not too bad.
Next was the other side of the fairing in front of my right hand - OK, I'm ready to take one for the bike and let it just hit my gloves, but no - more clear coat off
Then I dropped a ladder on the front fender - all the way through, no big deal anymore. Ride enough you are going to scratch dent and chip
