Hail hurts at highway speeds.

Yup... Pea size. Glad I was wearing my helmet. Not a new discovery, just sharing my my feels like getting beat up by thousands of tiny little angry animated lawn gnomes pain.

Oh man I remember them days in Oklahoma.

I think the biggest I rode the bike in was quarter sized. Started small and got bigger. Once I saw getting bigger than pea, I was looking to get stopped. Riding on ball bearings didnt sound like a good idea. Glad you did OK.

My wife says it hurts. We got caught last year in Colorado, on our way home from Sturgis. One little cloud or two in the sky, I could see the sun shining just ahead of us, and then the sprinkles went to heavy rain and then hail stones. I ducked behind the fairing and she was jumping from side to side and hollering at me to stop. The sunshine was just ahead of us, but nooo, I could not stop and get soaked also. so to this day, I hear how I am suppose to stop any time it hails , just so she doesn't get beat up. She didn't even get one hail dent, maybe a few bruises, but no dents. I still laugh about it, she looses her humor when we talk about this.

About 1976 I got caught in a sudden Hailstorm. Left little bruises all over me as I was riding (close tp home) with no shirt. Just a pair of shorts. No excuse just young & Stupid!!! At least I've got older!!!

About a month ago I started out on the bike and saw black clouds heading my way. So I turned back home and was glad that I did. Big hail pounded down on my house - quite a few houses in my area needed new roofing. I cannot imagine trying to ride with these things dropping from the sky.
