    Spiders don't bother me much, but other creepy crawlers and big bugs do. My wife and kids are freaked out by spiders tho, so I have standing orders to kill every one of them we spot in the house.

    Kentucky Tourism Board weighs in

    Ok, this is a silly thread. But I have to back up my Ky story. Each day I came back to camp, there were more and more Daddy Long legs on my tent. 5 then 10 then 30. I was sweeping them off, like ants! And not just common brown/grey ones. There were yellow bodies, orange bodies, wee ones, and giants. Of course, day 3 or 4 they were inside the tent. I woke up and found squashed bodies that I had rolled over during sleep. And then there was the wood pile! I picked up a stick of wood and saw a big hairy spider. A bit bigger than my thumb. It scurried back into the pile. Each time I got wood, the ground would boil and come alive with the dashing of little brown guys. Back into the woodpile. If we would have kept burning wood, the spider pile would have grown, while the wood pile diminished. When leaving the camp at dawn (dewey, flat sun) I slammed on the brakes. WTF! The park ranger had put up a cable across the driveway. I got off, couldn't believe it. Looked closely- It was a dang ol' spider web line!?!??! It was wet and shiny from the dew and looked like a piece of steel cable. Perfectly horizontal, about chest high, between two trees. Meant to catch a man, I think. This was getting into Stephen King territory, so I lit out.

    I've developed an effective procedure for getting bugs like that out of my helmet. I like to think of myself as a genius, Einstein reincarnated perhaps. Only I'm taller, not german, and I have my G.E.D.
    Anyway, just flip open your visor and turn your head to the side. At highway speed, it sucks any bugs outta your helmet. Brilliant!

    At least we know the snake had no taste in motorcycles, hiding out in a V-Strom.

    I have bees buzzing around my bike all the time. Not really sure why


    I shoo them away. They just give me googly eyes and make kissie noises.
    I have been stung twice while riding. Once inside my helmet on the ear, and once on my neck just under my collar.
    It is not fun trying to get a bee out of your clothes while riding at highway speeds.
    Let alone a bunch of spiders.

    Yeah. I mean, I'm only allergic to bee stings as much as the next person, but it could definitely be very dangerous lol

    that is what " a bee in the bonnet " must mean.
    I guess I am more afraid of crashing then of getting stung, cause I somehow stayed upright trying to get that thing off of me.
    god it was awful to flip my visor down and have a bee sitting on the inside.

    Had a yellow jacket hit me at the base of my throat and drop into my shirt a couple summers ago. It then proceeded to sting me 5 or 6 times before I pounded on my chest and killed the llittle bastard! I had welts from the stings for a few days.

    Sung to the tune of Chop Suey by System of a Down

    Oh shit

    A bee just went into my helmet

    Why'd a bee just go into to my helmet? ( it wanted to)

    Please get out of my helmet (you want it to)


    Oh why ... Why ... Did this bee commit suicide?

    Oh why ... Why is this bee spoiling my ride?

    That's probably worse than having a cigarette fall out of your mouth inside your helmet and blow around in there, setting your hair on fire and singing your eyebrows, then turning the lining into a flaming torch, and melting the visor so you can't see where you're going. Could happen!

    And your national bird is the mosquito! They're HUGE up north in Ontario, come at you in swarms, and suck you dry like a wanton vampire!
