Default sh*t happens

Ok yesterday i was riding around and stopped at a light, where about four days ago a bird crapped on my windshield. So Im coming to a stop and look up and theres probably 20 or 30 birds. so I position my self to where im not right under them. Well, I was making a right turn so, when i saw a break in traffic I moved up, not more than 2 feet, and sure enough, i got sh@t on. Here I am riding home on what had been a great ride, with bird sh*t running up my arm!!! I guess one could say, I had a sh*tty ride home!

I have the wide glide bars, and you dont have to replace the cables, just move some stuff around, no big deal. I really like them.

It's a funny thing you had this happen... A couple years ago I was riding along the coast doing approx. 25 to 30 miles per hour and see a few seaguls flying around. Well as you can guess one of them dumped on me and landed right in the middle of my chest, my wife was laughling so hard I almost crashed the bike. I feel your pain brother....
