Got attacked by a hornet while I was doing well over the speed limit on Sunday.
Little guy got under my body armour (no they’re not hornet proof) and stung the sweet Jesus out of me. Thanks to Buddha it wasn’t my face.
Managed to slow down and send him to Hades.
I think those Barney Fief’s in Shen Ken have been training attack hornets to get outlaw-motorcycling-speed-creeps like myself.
Also has anyone noticed the large amount of dangerously slow student drivers on the weekdays out on the 106? They are like mobile land mines-almost tore off my mirror on one coming fast around a curve.
I have a friend who had a hornet fly into her helmet as she was riding with the visor up!..It stung her and she just let out the anchors…it resulted ina minor spill and just minor damage to her ZR-7S!..I can only imagine the feeling…hold on to the bars or go for a helmet shake?
Years back I had a huge bumblebee fly up past my chin and buzz around in front of my face, visor down. A few months later another bee got into my jacket while going 170 or so and stung me on the nipple. Ouch. Lucky not to crash that time.
When I saw the title I thought police were attacking student riders on Honda Hornets.
Shouldn’t a properly fitting helmet be snug enough that a bee shouldn’t be able to fly up into it? Sucks about them flying in through the visor, though.
Worst I had was a collision with a cockroach-like creature which exploded on impact with my face. This caused loads of white goo to go everywhere around my helmet and face. Yuk.
