Don't you know how to tell a happy bike rider? By the bugs in his teeth....

OMG that is the oldest one in the book.

Wait till a live biter flies up your sleeve and bites the hell out of you for about a minute until you can pull over, park at the side of the road, rip off your jacket, and stomp on it furiously til the bug is dead.:

I know that one. Nothing says scary like sharing a helmet with a wasp at 80mph.

Last year I had a yellow jacket go into my jacket and start stinging me on the side of my back. I am sure all the cagers were a little worried when they saw a biker goin WOT beating the hell out of himself. I couldn't fine a place to pull off fast enough.

Bees

The funniest I heard here was the guy that was riding w/ his new GF, & a wasp flew up his shorts & started stinging him you kmow where! He pulled off the road & started stripping naked in front of the new GF & passing cars. Pretty funny- but not to him I am sure!!

sooner or later we all learn to tighten the cuffs on our sleeves. Had a yellow jacket fly in there and sting my back several times until I could pull over!
