Bugs!

Now that's what I'm talking about.

 

A bug you say? That looks like it is on the inside Jeff.

 

... I did have to sneeze at one point ...

 

I had one like that hit my visor on my trip. Damned near felt like I hit a jelly filled hummingbird!

 

LOL ... Lint, that is a very accurate account of what I experienced yesterday!

 

Can you imagine that with an open face helmet?!! I think that might knock me off my bike:bump2:
I carry a bottle of water and micro fiber towel, that way if I'm ever thirsty I won't be parched, plus can Clean the bugs off. I don't think that we have near as many bugs in SoCal as in many other areas. Probably hand in hand with how little water we have. (Captain Obvious here)

 

Carry a bottle of water. Never thought of that. You can make soup!

 

... more like stew ...

If you ride between and around the bugs, they don't get on your helmet or bike. Just takes practice......

 

This is one from quite a few years ago. Caught a butterfly 5 mins into an hour long leg...

 

LOL ... my helmet looks nasty again today. I'd post a photo but I'm far too lazy .. just got home from work and riding.

It was 32*C (94*F) here today .... meeeeelting!

 

What's worse than getting bugs all over your helmet?

Putting the helmet on a shelf in the garage, and then discovering later that day that you had created a smorgasbord for the local ant population, who have turned up en masse, and are merrily running in and out of vents, under the liner, hinge mechanism etc.

Now imagine you have that image fresh in your mind on the next ride, and the inside of your ear starts to tickle...

 

Uh, no thanks °-°
