Glad to hear your son-in-law is ok. Does he ride? I always wondered if someone is allergic like that, if they would have time to get pulled over and administer their medicine. I have been stung more than a few times on the scoot.

Rode like a bastard all the way home (20 miles) to find the Ambo was there and he was hooked up to Oxygen, Adrenaline and Steroids!!

More drama than I needed but he will be fine as long as he carries an Epi-Pen with him for the rest of his life.

I had decided that if the Cops tried to stop me I would keep riding and explain later....right now I wish I still smoked but I will settle down soon enough....once this beer starts to work....
Had the same happen to my wife and it was a big surprise to both of us . The ride to the Medical center was really nuts and i hope the new epipipen works like they say it should .
Hope all is well Spanners

Rabbito, it seems that ripping on Trailldog is the unofficial sport here in the Evo section. Even the Dog seems to encourage this by posting pictures like that.

Went for a long ride yesterday and got back to 300 ft of my house when a wasp nailed me in the ankle. I immediately put wet tobacco on it and barely notice anything today.
