Stings

That is exactly why I QUIT wearing fingerless gloves.Them little "*****es" fly up under one of the fingers and you cant get em out.So If I go down and get road rash atleast its not from a bee getting stuck under my glove and stinging me.

I would have thought that venom would have very little or no effect on you STB

Oh how wrong you are remember me and Katie copied each others hard drives, bidding starts who wants to see the famous video

Are you taking bribes to NOT show it us?

Doesn't look to me that a bug could get in there, the potential entry point is perpindicular to the direction of air flow as indicated by the streamers on the handlebars.

I beg to differ. If the darn things can fall down our shirts they can fall down a sleeve!

We have lots of different kinds off flying bugs in Texas. Not too many of them feel good when they hit you. Occasionally we ride through a swarm of some kind of small bee. So far I think I have been lucky. Maybe bit once I think. Bear gets nailed by them more than I do. And they usually have gone down his shirt or inside his helmet.

And about four years ago we were riding with some friends. Suddenly one of the guys bringing up the tail went flying around us and just kept going. I slowed down and motioned what was up with that. Bear didn't know either why he left us. His wife pulled along with her trike and told us he got nailed through his glove and was highly allergic and went looking for a hospital. Oh! Ok? I got to thinking about it cause we were in the middle of no where and she said he had about 15-20 minutes time or he was in trouble. I remembered we had a bunch of antihistamines in our bags so I went to catch him. He thought that was a great idea so he took them and then told us he would have to have a motel room to sleep the meds off. Made for some temp excitement for that trip...
