Default almost killed by green flies

riding along at a fair pace, went around a left hand corner quite lent over and then 2 secs later this happened


it just looked a bit misty which I thought for a second was a bit odd on a sunny day then hit all the dam green flies, there must have been millions of them, bike, leathers, helmet all covered.
could not see anything out of the visor, lucky no one was behind me so I slowed down sharpish, think I went into the other lane but could not really tell as I could not see. So just keep an eye out for green flies, speed + not being able to see aint a good thing

Wow just wow...

on the positive side atleast you killed half the population of them, less for the rest of us to worry about.

Edit: looking at it for to long makes you feel sick

Wow,

Lucky it wasn't hover flies, there was a big outbreak of them a few years ago, everything turned yellow when you hit them

I've noticed more flies about recently and everyone in sheffields been going on about an increase in green flies I wondered why they were so bothered...this is perhaps why!
