Riding down to Sarasota from Central Florida about a month ago some kind of stinging insect decided to get in the neck of my shirt crawl down my back to just about the middle of my left shoulder blade wear the shirt must've trapped him or something and he proceeded to sting me about four times. I couldn't get to the shoulder of the road fast enough to get that bug off me. I had little welts for about a week where he got me.

Yes, had one fly in my shirt. It really SUCKED.
Having said this, I think it should be federal law that everyone who rides a motorcycle should have to wear full body armor covered with what would appear to be a custom fit wet suit lined with lead to cover it. This along with a helmet that has an integrated Mark V breathing apparatus will guarantee survival in the event of a nuclear attack by terrorists.

Just once when I was much younger. A wasp went down my shirt and got me twice. I had forgotten about it until I saw this thread.

I've told this here before, but, since you asked.
A couple of years ago I was riding down a country road with my wife and suddenly, she hollers "pull over, I've been stung!" So I pull over and she is swatting away a honey bee that had stung her on her pinky finger. I then had to listen to 10 minutes worth of a$$ chewing because I had not "swerved" to miss the bee!
A couple of months ago we were riding along and I got stung on my left thigh. I whacked and smashed and etc until the stinging stopped. When we got home and I dropped my pants to inspect the damage, the little bastard (wasp) came crawling out and tried to escape. he didn't make it.

Going 70 mph with ol lady on the back when a yellow jacket got in my half hemet just above my left ear--I finally got pulled over--got off the bike and was running around in circles cause I could not get my dang helmet off fast enough! Had to look perty funny to anyone driving by but I didn't care cause felt like my ear was on fire! My ear swelled up and the whole left side of my face was sore for a few hours. MAN--I hate them damn bees!!!
