I was out for a 3 hour ride on Tuesday on my Ultra. It was one of those days here in Wisconsin, were it was so nice that if you didn't get out for a ride, you had better sell your bike. You know those kind of days, where you take a 3 hour lunch or get sunshine fever and have to leave work...it was THAT kind of day.
So I get home and my girlfriend and I are cooking some dinner and DAMN if my leg doesn't hurt. I look down, pull up my pant leg and there is a big red spot on my calf and a bee stinger in the middle of it. Two days later my leg is still red and sore.
I hate it when I take a bee to the leg on the bike!!!!
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.
riding through a swarm of mosquitoes! Rode down a rode at nightfall, warm spring night, with a stream running along side the road, and just a massive swarm of mosquitoes! Was eating mosquitoes for a couple of miles! Hot sauce would of helped them taste a little better though.
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.
