It wasn't the speed that scared me i don't think. Come to think of it I've been over 55 on it before. Im really starting to think it was either the faceshield or the cars...not sure.

u had a tinted shield or what?
should have just popped up the faceshield. I got back home last night around 8 and wanted to ride so I just left w/o switching to the clear shield. as long as there arent too many bugs you're probably more safe with the shield up so u can see better.
