Wish I'd taken a pic of the bug I hit a few weeks ago. It hit my helmet so hard it felt like a rock - would have knocked a pair of glasses right off my face.

God only gave me two of them. They're not the greatest in the world but they're all I've got. I prefer to keep them in good working order. My shield is down, and I usually have sunglasses on underneath. Cig butts, bugs, rocks, dirt, and other stuff just don't make for comfortable riding when they're in your eye.

There is video I've seen of a guy riding in hawaii with a group of motorcycles. A bug hits him in the eye and he clips his buddies motorcycle and he falls off and almost gets ran over by a Lexus who swerved just in time.
I always wear yellow shooting glasses. That way if I ride at night time I can see clearly but car lights don't blind me and I'm protected from bugs. But in the daytime if I want less wind or some shade I just throw my smoke visor down.
