I meant to post this back when it happened. On one of my rides, I rounded a slight left corner and a downed power line came into my view. I hit it at 55 mph. I’ve included a screenshot from my dash camera and a picture of the damage to the windshield.
I had no time to react, and this was with both my bright auxiliary lights on. Last thought I had was that I was about to be decapitated or dragged off the bike. The mirror and PUIG windscreen hit the power line and deflected it over my helmet. The mirror was spun around after the impact. My helmet is white, and not a mark. I thanked GOD once I pulled over. I then went back to the wire and called in a down wire and directed traffic.
This is one of many incidents where I know I’ve been protected over the years.
