Worst thing on your face?
What is the worst thing you've had hit your face while riding? A couple weeks ago I had a truck flick up a rock and it split my lip.
This one is different but this time last year I had a huge Huntsman spider on my face. I had been riding for an hour, I was slowing down for my destination when it started running all over my face. It must have been living in my bike in the garage. Didn't crash though - win win

Had a bird glance off the side of my face/helmet while dirt bike riding in Baja. My son was riding just off to the side and saw it happen and laughed for the next hour. It was kind of weird having that thing flap away as if nothing had happened.

Brother-in-law and I were riding down the interstate one day and I kept feeling a sprinkle on my face every now and again as we were closing in on a motorhome. As we got closer, I noticed every time it would hit a bump some liquid would splash out of the **** tank hook up. Needless to say we hammered down and passed up the RV and flipped off the driver as we passed. Scrubbed the hell out of my face when we got where we were going. Disgusting.

Couple of small birds. Got stung by a bee by my ear. Got hit by some kind of bug and I had to pull over and clean my eyes out because it stung so bad.

I had the speedo wrapped trying to beat a monster midnight black cloud home after a weekend of riding. I rounded a corner coming towards town on the interstate when an oncoming motorhome spewed something out the side of it that tasted like dirty soap water! I had some serious trouble contolling my gag reflex for quite a few miles afterwards!
