[QUOTE="SilverHound, post: 627712, member: 16427"] ARGGGH! I HATE freakin bees! Yeah ATGATT can help but not always. I was riding my Blackbird once and saw a UFI (unidentified flying insect) in my line and then felt it hit my chest. I figured it was dead but minutes later right on the outside of my helmet faceshield I see a wasp clinging on. That startled me a bit but I was calm enough to reach up and flick it off...except it didn't flick off...and that's the moment I realized it wasn't on the OUTSIDE of my faceshield it was on the INSIDE three inches from my unprotected eyes and face. :o How fast can one bring a motorcycle to a full stop, rip off their helmet and toss it into the weeds along side the road? VERY FAST. I didn't get stung but man was my heart racing for the next ten minutes. I guess the little pecker flew away when I ripped off my helmet but I can tell you that I thoroughly inpected every nook and cranny of that helmet before putting it back on and still was waiting for that SOB to reappear into my line of sight on my way back home. My eyes hurt from rolling them around to the boundaries of my peripheral vision all the way back home. BEES SUCK! :angry2: [/QUOTE]
