Once had a big bee hit the chest, survive, and fall down between the tank and me nads. Didn't know it at the time until I felt the stinger through the jeans into the sensitive region down there. Yeeeooooow!
I was riding my bike a few years ago about 3 miles from home when all of a sudden WHAM! I get nailed in the neck by what felt like a rock. I get home and take off my leather and start finding feathers inside my coat. I guess it was a sparrow or some other small bird. At 70 mph, it felt like a buzzard hit me.
I know a guy that hit an owl year before last. The impact nearly knocked him off his bike and shattered his collar bone but he managed to get it pulled over and parked.
Was riding the other day saw something coming at me....no time to duck...hit me on the left side
of my face. Thought ok just another bug then it started burning....pulled the stinger out. Hey just the joy of riding
A friend of mine said he got hit in the mouth by a bright and colorful butterfly. He must have swallowed most of it cause he said he sh!+ in techni-color for a week.
I had some sort of bug crawling up my leg last week. I could feel it getting closer and closer to my crotch and I almost started to panic. I pulled over and pulled my jeans down to find out what it was. I couldn't find it but the people passing by seemed to get a kick out of it.
