I now agree! I am from New Hampshire, but was on a long road trip 2 summers ago. I toured around on my 2006 RSTD for the whole summer.I am a teacher. I camped at 20 or so national parks out west. As I descended from about 10,000 ft at 11% downgrade, I was hit by falling rocks right on my skid lid. I did the wild wobble, but stayed up and pulled over asap. My helmet had cracked in half. When I came to Provo, I found a dealership and bought a new Scorpion helmet with a retractable visor. Better than my old skid lid.
