Never had a headlight break yet, it would take one heck of a large object to bust it. Oil cooler probably could use one.
I have. I was on my way home from a 300 mile ride, the longest I had ever taken at the time as a new rider. It was a dark two lane road and I was about 10 miles away from anything.

Some lowlifes came by in an SUV the opposite direction as me and threw a water balloon at me, broke the headlight and cowl and nearly knocked me off my bike. I had no idea what hit me.

I had to ride home about 10 miles in the pitch black until I hit the city. The only lights I had were the amber running lights. When I got home I found the lamp had been shattered and the remnants of a water balloon hanging from the broken cowl. That's when I realized what had happened.

All these years later and I still get mad when I think about it. Angry
