got to be some stories out there .... what wasn't funny at the time sometimes is funny in retrospect... so ill start..... and since spring has sprung in central texas it going to be happening to some one soon... I like to ride with my visor open, some times you pay for that... two years ago in march , the temperature is in the 60s , I'm going to the store to purchase something . brand new tenere under my butt, cruising down slaughter lane in south Austin... turn left on congress, catch 3 gears, running about 45mph... and I see it coming, not sure what it is , but its coming. now the trajectory of the flying thing does not seem to be a threat so I'm wondering what it is... what it is is a honey bee, it veers suddenly into my path.... no worries, my windshield will stop it.... no , it goes over windshield and hits me between the eyes , had to be butt first, and the pain begins... oww!!! now I'm starting to panic a bit, wondering were are the cars that around me second ago.... this thing is starting to hurt and ive got to stop some where... calm down is my thoughts and I find a drive way I can pull into... I stop and look into mirror and the bee is hanging by her butt between my eyes..... so after I clear that up I continue on to the store, throbbing pain slowly subsiding.... but now I look like Neanderthal man, scarring the little kids... took three days to look normal again... still like my visor open.....
