Did get a fly in the eye as I took off up the road with visor up on the beemer yesterday tho.... Made it water for a little while....

You have the weirdest luck with bugs though - have you fished many more out of your vents? Weird - I think they have some sort of PT Vent Guidance system (probably developed by JRandom)....

Yep, tho this was more of an urban mountain, filled with houses and shops and the path I was riding on was in fact a very busy sealed road.

B - The letter B is for bike, it derives from the word bicycle (a vehicle with 2 wheels). Usually a pedal driven, 2-wheeled vehicle is referred as a bicycle.

Therefore, by MTB I meant to refer to a Mountain bike. When Mountain and bike (bicycle) are put together, their combined meaning describes a specific type of bicycle. I.e. a bicycle designed for off-road use, which can include use on mountainous terrain.

Oh. OK then.

This means that a street bike is an STB and a road bike is an RDB. Excellent!

Now all I have to figure out is how superbike got to be SBK and who put the cunt in Scunthorpe and my life's work is nearing completion!
