Farrrking Wasps.. Keep ur visor down :(

[FraG]

Went for a ride to york early Sunday to scrub my tyres in.
1/2 way there I had a wasp fly into my helmet and lodge between my temple and helmet. After nearly going off the road as it was mid corner and 4 wasp stings later.....

Ended up swelling up like a baloon, had to see a Doc and get Antibiotics & Anithistameans... So yeah u won't see me riding with visor up too much esp on country trips.

Careful ppls

[Campo]

Shit man, you're lucky. If it was me it's a quick trip to hospital if there's one near by!

[Maarken]

man ive had lots of bee's sting me while ive had the visor up but im not allergic and they only sting ya once which is bad enough ..... ouch dude !

[Deej]

Jees... at least with a Bee you only cop a hit once and you are left with a certain level of rhestecpa for the little critter's commitment cos you know he is guna die from it.

But those wasps….. 3 times! Nasty. Never been stung by a wasp (touch wood) but I don’t imagine its nice.

[mastrmage]

Same, I'm allergic to bee stings, not sure I assume wasps have a similar sort of poison.

Damn, lucky Frag!

[Nick7r]

thats must suck dude




i rode to the shops once, i thought fuck dont need the gloves

BANG fuckin bee in the hand, thing went num, hard to ride with a num hand

Went through a swam of bees on a country run a few weeks ago with me visor up! Fortunately ducked behind the fairing in time and kept them out of my face it was like being sprayed with pollen pellets. I was waiting for the pain to come from somewhere for a few minutes after but was lucky.

[Flakey]

Their sticky little buggers to clean off... :x

[FraG]

Well to make the swelling worse I came down with the biggest fever I have had as long as I can remember, had tues/wed off work

Oh well.. I'm going to make it my lifes work to eradicate wasps

Maybe we could invent a bug-screen (like strong fly-screen) for the conventional motorcyclist? Like have it on the outside of your clear visor to flip down in summer when you still want air flow and non fog-vision but dont want bugs or rocks slapping you in your face?
