« on: August 15, 2011, 07:49:53 PM »
...crawling around my ear while I'm riding is quite an experience.

Anything similar ever happen to you guys?

I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

Had a bee take up his summer dwelling in my jacket sleeve.  Didn't feel it until we were well on our way, the guy I was riding with at the time was wondering what's with all the funny road signals. And the subsequent break dance on the side of the road when I finally managed to find a place to stop.

I left my helmet on my bars outside overnight once.  Once.     Had a frickin' cock roach crawling around in my hair.  I couldn't get the bike stopped fast enough.  I hate bugs.  Hate 'em.

Weeeeell....................according to soooome people, that's the ultimate.

Allegedly


Furthermore that's animal cruelty, really. They NEVER ASKED the gerbil if he/she would like to spend a few hours up his/her rectum.

Had a dragonfly manage to wedge itself between my head and my helmet right by my ear.  It died on impact, but the wind was making it's wings flutter around my ears.  I stopped pretty quickly to fish it out.  No sir, don't like bugs in the helmet.

Had a spider in my helmet once.  I had no idea until it bit me on the back of the neck just as I was pulling into the parking garage at work.  Almost dropped the bike trying to pull into a spot quickly and yank my helmet off!  Half of my neck swelled up and felt like it was on fire for the rest of the day.

Bees for me. One in the side, one on the arm (both under the jacket) and one in the helmet. Three different hits, same day.

I carry "Sting-Eze" on all trips now, no matter how short.

I got a hornet stuck in my hair and it stung me about 10 times before I could get under a hose and wash it out. Horrible experience.
I left my 2 year old's shoes outside on the step because they were too muddy to bring in. The next day, there was a slug inside one of them.

IPA's , oops.

Just came from Back East. Some things we just don't have like there.



Above: This diagram shows the unusual arrangement of the pistons and connecting rods in the Fairbanks Morse Opposed Piston diesel engine. Two pistons share the cylinder, one connected to the upper crankshaft and the other to the lower crankshaft. Timing between the two crankshafts is coordinated by a vertical drive with a spring cushion pack.



Okay, enough threadjack...
