Took the bike out for a nice ride earlier. Heading to meet a friend for some food and rolling the speed limit with the visor cracked open a hair. Next thing I know I feel something slam into and get under my visor! Well the inertia of the impact didn't kill him and as he caught his wits he was very pissed. I hear buzz buzz in right ear, guess his way of saying let me out. Since I cant speak pissed off bee I thought that it might be the buzzing of the bike. The bee figuaring out I didn't hear him got my attention the best way he knew how. The little basteard stung me. Stung me right in the ear lobe! Don't know if you have ever been stung but its not a fun thing to have happen to you. Now imagine getting stung in the head! Needless to say I stopped the bike, pulled the helmet off my now swollen ear and head to see the culprit still buzzing in the padding. So use this as a word of caution. Bees in the helmet suck. Ride safe!

Holy cow dude that is so damn funny but i'm sure it really sucked. I bet that could easily cause a bad wreck if you didn't keep your composure.

I used to have this stuff, Baker's Bee Venom Cleanser. The company is going in a new direction now and doesn't make it anymore but this stuff worked. We had a family get together and one of the kids got stung. She was alergic so everyone was freaking out. Got this stuff, put a few drops on the sting, rubbed it in, she didn't even swell up. Wish I had some more to give people. It worked!!!

Well I know the pain of hitting asphalt is worse then a bee sting. Really it is funny,could have been worse so Im thankful for that.
Thankfully Im not allergic that would have been bad.
Rick, I have rode the wheels off mine already. Sun shining Im riding!

I was riding last summer with my visor open just enough for the largest grasshopper on the face of the planet to fit in. I about went down. After 10min of cleaning guts off my face and helmet interior, I was on my way.
Here's a funny one, I was out for a ride with jimssvt he was in the front and went to kick some debris out of the road. Looked like a plastic bag with something in it. Turned out to be yellow pages phone book. I lol'ed.
Have you taken a bird to the shoulder at 65 mph yet? That hurts like hell

June bugs, right in the middle of the forehead aren't pleasant.
I did have a bee sting me on my inner thigh once. I don't know how in the hell he got up there, but he waited until I was stopped at a red light, to let me know he wasn't happy. The other people stopped around me, must have thought I was nuts!
I had a bee get into my leathers about 10 years ago going down the front straight at Putnam Park on a GSX-R at about 130mph. That sucked.
