Went for a blast after work yesterday as I snuck off early. Visor and bike covered in greenfly. Summer is here at last

Not got any greenflies yet but I keep getting whacking huge great big bumblebees bouncing off me when I'm riding round :shock: :lol:

I thought someone was throwing things at me the first time I head that "thonk" noise on my helmet! :lol:

Moths are the worst, get one of those big buggers in the middle of your visor and you have to pull over as they make so much mess.

Mate hit a bird once Skydiving.

He never did find its remains but most it was over him. The Instructor said he was lucky to be alive. Now I know why they wear goggles and helmets.

I skydived in the rain once, bear in mind that rain falls at about between 7 - 12 mph and I fell at about 100 - 110 mph BTE, that means hitting the sharp end of the rain drops :wink: at about 90 mph and it fecking well stings !

lols that made me think of a mate of mine with a triumph triple he said he hit a bloomin huge seagull once, it managed to make him fall off! he stood up and had a look round an it had disappeared! so a chane it was fine despite havin flown straight into him, literally head on head collision! ouch!!
