All kidding aside, I've ducked a couple times for birds......... Scares the chit out of ya when you see an object coming right at your head at 100mph.

The latest Skater race windshields we build will be good for 350 knots or so. I don't build the pleasure windshield but I would guess it would bounce a 125 to 150 mph 4 pound bird off of itself. Without a structure across the top of it it makes it a lot weaker. It's a great windshield for its intended purpose. I hit at least two birds this weekend on the Clear Water poker run!!

I clipped a mallard and had to duck(pun intended) to avoid getting smacked in the face at 70mph.
