I just learned a BIG lesson. Too frickin hot in the shop and I've felt like crapola all day so I head home on the bike to get paperwork done and cool down. 1/2 way down rt 16 I see a BIG bug comin straight at me. It felt like it went down my shirt and I figured it was just a beetle or somethin.

YEA about 500' further I have to do a serious emergency stop and rip my friggin shirt off. It was a BIG hornet and that sucker got me 9 TIMES. I thought I got it out, never saw it though. I felt through my shirt and couldn't feel anything in there so I figured it was gone. yea I got him out...when I got HOME and he flew away. Son of a beech I hate hornets now my whole stomach is covered in hornet welts :gorez:

Do you wear a full face or 1/2 helmut? I wear the 1/2. Wait till one goes up under the lid. That's fun too. :(

3/4 helmet with full face shield. Not much that can happen there...just lift the visor and out it goes.

man did he get me good.

Could of been worse ya could of had your mouth open and ate him.:blush:

yea but that lesson already been learned Lu...mouth stays shut on the bike :rotf3:

Thats funny !
:rolleyes:

Bee stings, rub a fresh slice of onion on it. The pain goes right away.
Soooo why was that hornet so freekin' pizzed at you?

i take benadryl too after any bee or hornet sting otherwise it makes me feel kinda sick...
but of course, i've been stung hundreds of times all at once and have a sensitivity
to the venom now, especially if stung on the head.:doh:

The word "hornet" would make a good name for a lure.

Sure would RST :hee:

BBJ not sure. I think his brother tried to get me this morning too but his aim was off he hit me in the leg roflmao

...how can you recognize a happy motorcyclist ?


...count the bugs on his teeth....

sorry salty, for a second i thought you were gonna say it was a ups truck coming at you!... How did the van incident turn out?

I've been away for a month or so.

:wave: and welcome back

My stomach started to hurt thinking about this reading the story. OUCH!

OUCH - Keep a unit of sprray benadryl handy. works great on nasty bites. :mad:

I think he is after me...same area again yesterday on the way home I got hit in the arm and that one got me good.

I think all hornets have it out for me now :eek5:

Haven't taken any bees yet this year. A pretty good sized beetle damned near took me down the other night though. :rocketem:

Today marked the first time I have driven the truck to the shop since May 29 I had to break my streak :realmad::cens::cens:
