Put more than 4 gallons into my motorcycle. Now that I think about it I plan to get on route 287 at 5:45 p.m. and crank her up to about 130 mph and go out in style.
If it does play out as advertised, do you think I can plead insanity caused by religious fervor?

1. I wonder what a big old bumble bee feels like hitting you at 130 mph |
|
Or a hornet, them babies hit pretty hard anyway. :hi:

3. I rode through Alligator Alley once on a bike.. |
|
Goes right through the Everglades..
The bugs are so damn big they should have numbers on the wings and there are just _clouds_ of them.

4. After hitting you at about 60 mph, a bumble bee still has the time to |
|
sting you prior to expiring. Don't know about 130, but the double whammy at 60 hurts.

5. I was riding in Kenya and hit a swarm of African killer bees.. |
|
fortunately going so fast that they didn't have a chance. But it was pretty messy.
Another time I did get one in my helmet and it stung the side of my head...ouch!

10. Love bugs and cicada don't need stingers, lol |
|
I've had them crack faceshields, then the guts afford no visibility, which leads to an exciting ride especially if you're on a twisty stretch. Fun times.

11. My face shield is one of those that only comes about half way down. |
|
During love bug season I don't sing. Mouth wide open to hit the high notes is too inviting a target for those bugs intent on 'suicide by geezer.'

8. A big Okie Locust on I-40 nailed me good |
|
right in the middle of the forehead. Luckily, I was only doing 85 or so. I barely kept control of my Superglide.
