That is hilarious.&nbsp\\; But, you are in fact lucky it did not go into your breathing system as it would have resulted in severe coughing, etc to dislodge/disgourge it.&nbsp\\; And, that was a hell of a timing job for it to have flown into your nose and down your throat before you could react.&nbsp\\; The only way I know that could happen is during and intake of breath or you happen to be swallowing just at the right time.
&nbsp\\;
Worst one that happened to me is riding a pro street at 70 mph, some big fat juicy bug hit the nose and the wind blew the result up into my sinus on the left side.&nbsp\\; Man, I was holding my right sinus closed and blowing for everything I was worth to get the crap out.&nbsp\\; People driving by was definitely looking at me funny.&nbsp\\; Afterward, I was laughing like a madman going down the highway....lol.

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Took a blackbird at 65 in the face shield once. Viser sliced him almost in half. Didn't see him coming. Just felt a huge thug on my helmet and head. Pulled over and there was blood everywhere. Pulled feathers out of the helmet, shield and clothing for a few days.

When I bought this new Ultra, 2nd day on a group ice cream ride, a cat came out at us on a side road and ran right into my front fender. Bent the chrome lower trim and actually creased the fender.

You meet the weirdest things, besides people, on a motorcycle.

I always thought this went without saying, Don't smile unless you want bugs in your teeth. Some 'ol saying like that.
Of course now that I said this, it will happen to me

A big ol yellow butterfly hit me right between the eyes once, even though I had glasses on, the&nbsp\\;jiuce from it nearly blinded me.&nbsp\\;Lucky to get stopped without&nbsp\\;running off the road.&nbsp\\;Felt like I'd been hit with pepper spray. Took a good twinty minuets to get clear vision again. Eyes stayed red for three days. That I'll never forget.
