Killa Beez

[Pixie]

Went for a little ride north today.Within ten minutes a little insect prick flies up into my helmet and stings me under the chin.Ten minutes later another tries to do a better job and stings me not 10mm away from the first.
S'funny,as I was getting ready,I opened the collar of my jacket for a little more ventilation and I thought to myself:"I hope a bee doesn't fly down my neck and sting me."

At least they didn't pump enough venom into me to make me get into those anal philatelic socks you hear about.As is my wont.

I suspect the Buell rider that passed me,just south of Wellsford, the second time I stopped to get the sting out,wondered what I was doing.

Must be the season.. A while back i was most disconcerted to get a bee up each sleeve of my jacket. Hurt like a bugger & I've never stopped so quick. I was dancing like a man on fire trying to get my jacket off.

Shit,that must be real bad,although my helmet is fully sealed up,and my neck is covered by the Jacket,so I'd hope that bee/wasp wouldn't be able to get in there.

Wait till you ride through your first swarm.
Ya don't forget that very quickly. Dark mass heading towards you at a great rate, chin on the speedo, and tuck everything in, oh, and shit yourself.:crazy:

What about a swarm of hornets?

Ugh,those things are creepy.

Murphys law about the extra ventilation. Had a wasp hit me in the neck and thought it had bounced away... wrong, 5 stings later in short order. The dance after the first sting, slap flick slap STING, nooo dont slap, STING, it gets more angry, STING , flick flick dance, STING , undo shirt and dead wasp falls out. Buggar, no kill satisfaction.

Arrrrrh, tis easy to do. Did the same with my neck warmer whilst on a quick very hot day near Queenstown. Within the first mile i was trying to blow a wasp off the visor, side of the helmet, other side of the helmet and i finally figured out that opening the visor would really help...

Never again have i removed my neck warmer!

Although I was stung in the head outside of a honda shop in Glasgow (getting gloves)... threw my helmet on and WHAM... it hurt llike mary fucking helll, i ripped off my helmet and saw a beedrop to the floor... i then started to scrub at my head as it was still stinging like mary and her hell, and was starting to feel a little woosey... then, on one scrath i noticed, i dunno, a centimetre long bees ass on my fingers... but they do pack a punch when they get in there... I still don't know how the damned thing got in my helmet...
