Long time ago I was riding my motorcycle on a 2 lane blacktop. Speed-limit was 55 MPH, I was probably doing at least 60 when I caught a bumble bee right between my running lights. No helmet, but prescription glasses which probably saved at least one of my eyes. The impact almost knocked me off my scoot. I finally got pulled off the pavement and when I looked in the rear view mirror I looked like a unicorn. To add salt to the wound I lost my glasses and had to drive 12 miles to find a pay phone so I could have my wife bring me a spare pair. Could have been worse. Anyway I always wore a helmet with a face shield after that day and always had a spare pair of glasses with me. Lesson learned!

You can always tell a happy biker by the bugs in his teeth.

Or, as in my case, I was once hit in the mouth by a bird while riding.

Gross, but… well, money is money. Buy some good mouthwash and enjoy the $$$ . :D

The happiness of the biker is directly proportional to the number of bugs in his/her teeth.
BTW (from personal experience) – Moths tend to be bitter.

Had a friend get a bee inside his helmet.

Could be worse. At least it’s not bats.
