Riding threw twistiest without face covering and a rouge bee lands right on the tip of my nose and has it's way with me till I can safely pull over and take it's life.......had to take ribbing from my pose the rest of the trip
Large, greasy bugs on the goggles....naturally, I reach up to wipe it off and it smears all over the lens. That and retreads thrown up by the trucks in front of me.
I hate it when I'm in the middle of the South Dakota at some nasty run down gas station and I need to get air in rear tire of my Electra Glide.
And, it's 100+ degrees out and so humid that I'll have to take my Fruit-of-the-Looms off with an ice-scraper come bedtime And, I'm crawling on what seems like 1000 degree cracked ant infested asphalt, with little bits embedding themselves into my palms, trying to get a cracked air hose with a chuck from 1926 onto my rear valve stem. Of course, any involuntary movement causes burns to my forearm and back of hand, and then after what seems like an eternity, I finally feel the chuck going onto the stem just as the station owner's unsocialized German Shepard sticks it's nose in my ***.
It is during these special moments that I find myself thinking unclean thoughts about the H-D engineers that approved the current wheel-valve location design. And, I hate unclean thoughts!
Thank you, I feel much better now.
Now that what I call Funny, good thing I wasnt drinking a rootbeer when reading this or it would be out my nose and all over the laptop.

after I spend the previous evening cleaning the bike for 3 hours and the next day riding home from work and what seems to be a small cloud that follows me and then dumps a down pour of rain on me for a mile, then all is clear and sunny, get home, get off the bike and see how filthy it got and have to do it all over again.
Yeah...2 hours this morning waxing it, shining everything...rode all day in the sunshine then came home for dinner. Asked the wife if she wanted to take a short evening scoot, sky looked clear. In comes random cloud...thunder...torrential downpour. This was 5 minutes from getting back home of course!
This is not bug related but what I really hate is when I'm 2-3 hours from any type of facility and I need a crap! I mean it's backed up so bad it's making a lump in my throat! I get some serious pucker power happening let me tell you.
As long as you have it "puckered" you aren't in trouble. It's when it starts to "prairie dog" on you is when you need to worry.
