Bugs

Riding along today on a country road at about 90 kph I encounter a lovely Monarch butterfly. He hit me smack in the Adam's apple (the only 3 square inches of exposed skin I have with my gear on).

Then it got interesting. Remarkably he didn't die, instead he crawled up inside my helmet between my face and face shield then we both freaked out him trying to escape and me trying to not kill us both while a giant f'ing bug is crawling around on my face obstructing my view of the road. We both made it home.

You are a lucky guy, hit by a butterfly @ 90 kph.
I was hit by a bird on my left ring finger @ 245 kph on a highway this year, It hurts like some one hit my finger with an sledge hammer!!!
Feel the paint a week long. I will not thing about he hit me like you at the Adam's apple,
Maybe this reply would never written by me..

I don't go 245, not even 145

Why not, it is street legal here in Germany on the highway, not every where but mostly.
Why do you think we build so many over powered luxurious cars like AUDI, BMW, MERCEDES, PORSCHE, ok and Volkswagen

They build some over powered cars here to - such as the Cadillac CTS-V and Corvette ZR1 (each with about 640 hp), but if you are caught exercising those engines here you go to jail and they throw away the key. :laugh: Ed

Hmmm, bumble bee at 60 mph, in the adams apple, down the shirt and yep, he can still sting!!! That's my worst case riding experience with mother nature!

Let's here what others have had!

How many keys they must throw away if you get in jail if you drive 400 kph and more with a Bugatti Veyron/Chiron build by Volkswagen
Specs: 1500 PS, 1600 Nm, 420 km/h i want to feel this acceleration. and speed street legal on our highway.

A friend told me he once saw a bike down on a two lane highway and the rider had a crows head stuck in his chest .

He must be the Ghostrider after the crow impact

I had a bee get in my shirt and down my back sting the whole way, then it drop into my pants.
My wife was riding in front of me and looks into her mirror to see me standing in the middle of the road with my pants down around my ankles jumping all around.
luckily it was a lonely country road.

These days the grasshoppers and Japaneses beetles are attacking, the beetles are hard and grasshoppers are real messy :sick:

OK all you bastards with birds and bees. Imagine my humiliation at my funeral when they say what finally got me was a butterfly. Them wings are HUGE inside your face shield

me standing in the middle of the road with my pants down

I wish it will never happens to me like that.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
