if your helmet has earwells, always check for big fat hairy spiders  in them before topping off. yup, would've been an interesting ride  lol.

Almost have an interesting ride, did ya?

 

Maybe the same for range hearing protection?

Not as much fun as having a bee get in there while riding. Or getting smacked in the face with a June bug!  +1 for windshields, now a firm believer in them.

and don't smile when you ride.  Not only is it impossible to look tough while smiling, you get bugs in your teeth.

I'm sure it was a bat I hit one night at 60mph.  I never saw it but it must have been a bat because bricks don't fly.

I got stung in the neck once. God that hurt like hell! I thought someone shot me! but I was the only one on the road in the middle of nowhere Sussex County. I had to stop and pull the stinger out with a Leatherman using my side view.

 

Spiders ain't shit! Eff Bee's!
