At least it stung you on the back. This summer a Yellow Jacket clamped on to my lip at 25 mph. On the way to work of course, so those interviews for the day went great looking like Mike Tyson punched me!!

That's nothin'
I'm rounding a 90 degree corner on the Angeles Crest Hwy about 45 mph and a bee wedges itself between my helmet and temple and starts stinging the hell out of me. As I start to wobble I remembered the sign I had just seen a second ago that notified me that I was at 7400 feet. CA is cheap when it comes to public safety... no guard rail to block your drop to the desert floor. I stopped dead in the middle of the road to work that s.o.b out of my helmet. I guess I was lucky it was 10:30 on a tuesday morning and not a heavily used Hwy...

Had a Yellow Jacket clap on to my right lower forearm at 70 mph in a curve and wouldn't let go for nothing.He was pissed and I wasn't any too happy either
