Try hitting one of them. I got lucky last May and caught two. One between the eyes and one over my right eye. Both on I65 in Tenn at 70mph. Not only do they hurt but make a big damn mess on your face.

Hitting a cicada Im sure is bad but have a cicada killer go up your sleeve and start stinging and trust me you can't get the bike stopped and your shirt off fast enough! These giant hornets and thick here in Illinois this year, they are every bit as big if not bigger than the cicada!

When Chuck Norris rides, those bugs know better--they go around him.
