Nothing like having huge gobs of bug guts stuck to your white pants when you get to the office. I'm just glad that I dont have bird guts on me too.

You're a brave man wearing white pants on an old bike! Get yourself some chaps, and don't pay any attention to the snickering as you walk into the office.

Why is it the biggest of the bugs always hit me right in the adam's apple? There's about one inch of space between my jacket collar and the bottom of my helmet, and they always manage to hit it! Do they have some kind of radar?

You could always get a Goldwing, then nothing would hit you, not even the wind...

Gordon,

You are so right. I remember one time 20 years ago hitting a bumble bee at 60 mph in the adam's apple. I just about choked right there on the bike.

Bob Wessner · « **Reply #11 on:** June 11, 2005, 08:24:47 PM »

I recall one time doing about 60 on a rural road and driving through a swarm of bees. Just about the time I heard the pop-pop-popping of them hitting my face shield, I felt this intense burning sensation on the inside of my right thigh. Apparenly one had gotten logged between my leg and the gas tank and stung me. A few inches further back and I could have given new meaning to the term crotch rocket.

Bob,
I had one go down the collar of my shirt. Stung me on the back. Couldn't even reach the offended area.

Take the pain. just glad cows dont fly.

I cought one in the Adams apple last week, dang. This week a big one flew right in the gap between the helmet and shield and somehow hit me on the lip. They're big this time of year around here.

Nothing better than having a junebug hit you while you are going 70 mph ... just like getting shot with a bullet (I assume) ... they are some friggin' hard.

I did ride fast into a favorite turn once, an uphill double 90* switchback to find a cow standing in the road. Good thing it didn't get all over my pants.

I caught a wasp in my chin strap a few months ago, I have never stopped my bike taken off my helmet so fast.

few years ago i was ripping thru the state forest on my GS500E, and i caught a cicada killer right in the chest, almost took me off the bake off the bike. my buddy behind me heard the wham of the thing hitting me and actually thought i had been shot the way i almost came off the bake of the bike. it hurt like holy heck for days. I was only running like 80 or so carving the curves thru the forest........speed limit was 30..........heheheheh
