I think congratulations are in order. Apparently I have achieved (singlehandedly, mind you) the optimum aerodynamic configuration between handlebars (heli), windshield (stock) and helmet (shoei) to kill as many bugs as humanly possible per ride via my faceshield. I think I must have cleaned my shield 10 times on todays ride...
yeah Reg, I wanna see pics ,too. we went to the Strawberry Festival 2 weeks ago. we came back on the old Hammond Highway (US51). where we reached bug nirvana status sending millions of gnats and no see ums to enlightenment, I was hit (pelted) by a particularly huge insect and was almost knocked off my VFR. LOL. damn bug was doing a buck 25, too.
now that you guys mention it, I wish I had gotten a pic. there was this one particularly juicy bug that must have had a full meal that hit right between my eyes. doesn't it make you wonder how guys can ride without a helmet or just a halfshell? does that count as a meal if you get 2 or 3 chewy ones?
I've always wondered that too Reg.. I mean I've gotten whacked by cicadas at like 80 and bruised through my coat. One's that thud the helmet loud enough to ring your ears wouldn't be fun in the face:caked:
