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

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

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

at about 90 mph and it fecking well stings !
