I ran into a moth on Wednesday morning. Double bad luck for the moth; wake up in February and on the inaugural flight get smucked by a windshield of a Sante Fe.VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-13684646762481991642012-02-24T20:20:37.570-05:002012-02-24T20:20:37.570-05:00Aren't we all glad that cows can't fly!Aren't we all glad that cows can't fly!VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-12244507154335610552012-02-24T20:19:39.462-05:002012-02-24T20:19:39.462-05:00Oh, so true!Oh, so true!VStar Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634216576989421497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-65863089798241620152012-02-22T08:54:13.236-05:002012-02-22T08:54:13.236-05:00Worried about flies in the chandelier?

I give him a 9.0 for form. LOL. <br /><br />With no windscreen at all on the Gladius, I too get all the bugs. Troubadour leads the rides on Lucy and her windscreen sends them all over his helmet and onto Max and me.<br /><br />Don't you hate it when you overlook something until you notice it when others might notice, and you can't clean it up right then. I bet they didn't even notice it and yet it probably bothered you all night.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1394161184343172403.post-82710783011089286552012-02-21T23:12:53.187-05:002012-02-21T23:12:53.187-05:00I found some dusty bunny cousins on mine. Oh my h...I found some dusty bunny cousins on mine. Oh my how we don't see things during the dreary days of winter. My first bug experience was last fall when riding on Lucy and was hit by a bee doing mach one into my face shield, so glad it was closed because had that sucker hit me I undoubtedly would have been stung. I was freaking a little because I didn't know where the blasted thing went and was praying it hadn't gone down the opening of my jacket. This is not a good thing when you are allergic to bees and are doing 90km/h down the highway and trying not to swerve all over the place. So no I were a very thin neck tube in summer to pull up under my chin. I hate it when bugs splat on me or the bike. The thing that is worse than bug splats is random seagull strafing - on the bike or scooter this is grosser than anything because there is no way of hiding from the flying garbage cans.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.com
