Lazs would have licked the bugs off already.

My bike didn't have a windshield, but I always rode with a full faced helmet.  Was riding her back to work from lunch on some backroads on a really hot afternoon.  Was slowing for a stop sign so I lifted my visor to get some air in the helmet.  Took a bug square in my left eye.  Three surgeries later, the 12 pieces it had shattered into were out.  Sold the bike and I'm back into muscle cars again.

little dinky flys aren't bad, it's those wasps and bees that are killers. having headons with those is like getting hit by a pellet gun.

I caught a dove in the chest at 70MPH once. That kinda smarted, but it was nothing like when I met an untarped rock truck that was blowing screenings (small slivers of rock under 1/4 inch) out of the top of his trailer. It was like getting hit in the face with a shotgun.

I don't wear those head scarve thingies... especially with smiley faces on em..

And I don't wear earings or womens sunglasses.

other than that..

oh,, If someone wants to post it I will send a pic of why you don't just get bugs from motorcycles.

So what do you wear when it's raining and cold Lazs? Or are you purely a sunny summer day only rider, to concerned with "image" rather then just enjoying yourself no matter what the condiitons.

Had an 18 wheeler ahead of me shoot a small chunk of concrete in a parabolic arc over the windscreen of my Fiat 1800 Spyder convertible and into my forehead. Almost wrecked the car, as  I thought I'd been shot as well. Managed to pull over bleeding and somewhat dazed (now I almost know what Goliath felt like). Had it been a little bigger, I'd have been toast.

I'm all for secured tarps and heavy mud-flaps.

yes... I am a sunny day rider who eschews the value of the protection offered by dual golden earings and womens sunglasses and a scarf.

my ears do fine without earings and my sunglasses are the male version which seem to work quite well and I have hair so don't really need a scarf.

What is enjoyable about riding in the rain?

Was tooling over a mountain pass in southern CA heading towards AZ and saw this dot coming at me.  It did a nice barrel roll and slamed into my right cheek at over 90 mph.  Was wearing a good pair of sunglasses.  Bug slim was all over both lenses.  My cheek was numb.

Nearly dumped the bike.

Pulled over at the next gas station and washed bug off my face and OUT of my skin for about 1/2 an hour.  Checked into sickbay when I got to my duty station and they also washed bug outa my skin for a little while.

Think it was a big beetle of some kind.  Very glad it wasn't a bee.

HURT!
