Wasp

OOOooo!! that could have been nasty, a sting in your helmet......


*taxi*

hit a bee head on at double A road speeds (on me run way) and it cracked me right in the middle of my visor that sh*t me up for a good few minutes

also go hit in the arm by a wasp, that hurt like hell even through textiles

Two stingy incidents.

1/ My mate calls at the house all red faced and shouting “sort it out”. He had a bee hanging from his ear lobe like a hippy earring ( which I thought it was because that would be his thing ). The bee had flown into his helmet just like the earlier post but had stung him. He nearly trashed his Suzuki Bloop in the panic.

2/ The ex and I were riding through an orchid to get to a secluded Zante beach on my honeymoon in 1989. I was wearing vest, shorts and flip-flops on my rented DT125 when a black hornet thing flew into my forehead. It dropped down between my naked thigh and the petrol tank and stung me. Clucking bell that hurt.

I'm guessing the gentlemen veg were out commission?

One flew into me the other month, thought I'd killed it and thought nothing of it... then a few minutes later there it was crawling up my visor, scared the crap out of me. It was all I could do not to drop everything there, I somehow managed to roll off the throttle and pull over, was in shock for a good few minutes though

I got hit in my left shoulder doing 110mph by a fooking horse fly now that stung, pardon the pun! Felt like a rock, horrible thing was i saw it coming!
