Mine happened a few summers back when i had my zxr track bike out for a run(all legal of course

)was going along not sure what speed,opened up the visor to let some air in and WHACK on the bridge of my nose,it was a bee/wasp,the only reason i know 'cause the f**ker stung me and left me lookin' like i had grown another nose!

.It's funny lookin' back now but at the time it hurt like fook.

All of these are 'nasty', but can't help

We have gone from a largish seagull to a pheasant to another bird to a 'small' starling and now to a bee!!

All bl%dy painful though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a deer run out but that really was another incident! Look up bikes and deers on you tube. It really is like that.

My father-in-law was hit by a buzzard in his plumbers van.
Put the window in and bent the front pillar !!!
One big ass bird...and he never found it, he assumed it either bounced over the van further than he thought or it limped off and died somwhere ?

couple spring to mind, animal and mineral.
in the 70's riding a cb250 , jacket open and a bee stuck me in the chest, thought it was a heart attack, once later hit a wasp and it fell down into the gap between leg and seat, stung through jeans very close!!
then two of us went to Mallory up the fosseway, pigeon flew out into his wheel gsxr 750 blue and white leathers changed to grey and red. stopped in Moreton-in marsh for a clean up, got to mallory and spent another half hour dinner time cleaning down.
what was left of pigeon nearly took my head off as it came out of wheel.
worse one was going down the M4, lump of dirt fell off a JCB on trailer, we could see it bounce across 2 lanes, at 80 in fast lane couldnt do much , caught me on the knuckles of left hand.

Had a sparrow hit me in the chin piece last year when out on the storm , gave me that horrible feeling you only get when you get hit in the nose /face area.
Didnt have my visor down so good job it wasnt a few inches higher

Chaz

Imagine if that wasp had stung you 'there' !!! Pain for sure but impressive in jeans with all that swelling

LSM,
Had that been you on your bike do you think you would have had a quick enough reaction to have ducked out of the way

Cheers,

Chris.

Just missed a pigeon hitting my helmet last summer - felt and heard the wings as I ducked. Bloody aerial rats anyway!

Nah, I'd have just caught it by the beak in my left hand, slowed down and given it a stern taking to..............................
