How BIG was it ???

[Jeriatric]

Normally this would not have been significant. But, pre dawn this morning I headed out to meet some folks for an early putt and . I'm not on the spyder this morning, but the KTM. It needed an airing out.

Big things, that fly in the night. How big? At least the size of a hummingbird......a moth it was...when it hit me square in the chest at 60 MPH.....we're talking guts galore. My jacket, my gloves, tank and seat. What a mess!!

What's the big deal.....had just washed my jacket and the bike. That's all.

Bummer..!!

But isn't it like that. You wash your cars bikes etc and then it rains. Sorry about the bug, you speak of the mess but it had to smart as well. I once got hit by a load from a pelican with the runs on the hood of my car, you want to talk mess!! :roflblack: boy it should have rained then...:roflblack:

June Bugs are kind of an armor-plated little essobee that's the size of a dime...
Run through a swarm of them at speed, and you'll always wear a visor... :shocked:

Oh, I know June bugs too. Grew up in the flyover states.

Nope Bob, that's not a political statement :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Chiggers, Johnson grass, and everything else unique to growing up..... country.

The bug that always amazed me was what we called 'lightening bugs' they go splat on your visor and some continue to illuminate seemingly forever. Mother natures marvels nojoke

Splat Happens :roflblack:

Glad no one got hurt. After running into a swarm of bees on a country road in Ohio one summer, I decided to always ride with my faceplate down, and my jacket buttoned up. I got stung several times but got the bike pulled over before I could start swatting the bees that went down my shirt.
