wasp in my helmet
so I'm out for a ride and I hear a buzz in my right ear. I have a chatterbox installed so I dismiss it as a buzz from the helmet speaker. A few blocks later I feel a "tickle" on my right ear. I think about it... seems strange. I calmly pull over at the next stop sign. Take off my helmet and there's a wasp crawling around in the lining by my right ear.
I shake it out of my helmet and continue on with my ride!

I've had one on my chin bar.. but this was unusual as I didnt know it was a wasp til I pulled off the helmet...
had I known earlier I might not have been as calm

hahaha I'm glad that its not just me that has those experiences then! Had a wasp in my helmet that stung the crap outta me. Started right next to my right eye and worked his way back to my ear before I could tear the helmet off! Damn eye and face swelled up so bad I couldnt get my helmet back on, and I think my body was having an allergic reaction to it, felt like I had been a punching bag for someone.
Had a few in my jacket that stung me. Once hit a hornet ass first going so fast that it forced his stinger throught my textile jacket and shirt into my chest.
Had one memoriable bastard get down my back like Toolman did, except this thing was stuck in the mesh lining and stung me 5 or 6 times. Was with a huge group of friends in the mountains, in a spot where I couldnt stop or pull over, so I had to resort to wildly flinging my arm behind my back trying to smash the bastard! The riders behind me were freeked out, they assumed I had finally lost my last screw and had snapped... bike swerving all over, beating myself senseless, twitching and bouncing all over my seat... Finally got a good smack on it and stunned it, which caused it to, you guessed it, fall down the crack of my ass. I can still remember the eye popping body-frozen-mid-strike half second or so I spent comprehending where it just went! Luckily by this point I was past the construction zone so I quickly skidded to a stop, dropped my drawers underwear and all, and did the "dance". I didn't realize all the riders had stopped, too, and were all raptly watching me, I just remember the 8-10 yr old boy in the old station wagon with his face glued to the back window, eyes the size of plates, driving by.
As I danced around I glanced down at my boxers and saw the dead bee, so I stopped, raised my fist up to god and yelled "I FUCKING HATE BEES!!!!". At that point the dozen bikers (and all 4 of the females on the ride) that had stopped to worryingly observe my antics breathed a sigh of relief; than the laughing started... pretty sure a couple of them ended up getting road rash as they fell off there bikes. Serves them right.
F****ing bastards, it wasn't funny. Not like they would have done any different!
