Why is it, that they always manage to hit right in the line of sight....

This is one reason why riding in the cooler months is so much better

I know i would rather battle with a steamed up visor, than one covered in dead inscets... At least with the steam, you can open the visor. With the other tis dangerous, even when hungry

i dunno how they do it, always right in the visor lol.

saw a few guys with open face helmets today, sucks to be them if they get one right in the mouth or up the nose mind you they were on vespa's so i doubt they would have been ripping it up like i was...

scares the shite out of you when a large BANG hits you right in the face, how can something so small make such a noise

hmm.. you need to try a lot harder... i once managed to have the full side profile of a good sized fly.. it looked like a diagram from a science book...
also once i found some unidentifiable green/yellow goo size of my thumb on my shoulder.. it had a leg and a wing in it... who knows...

im sure someone on here managed to hit a bird.. thats hard to beat (in the flying creatures class)

[warped one]

Lol, on Sunday I thought a stone had hit me, instead it must have been a bee or something, the splatter patch was about 3 inch, would have been funny to see it explode.

And with reagards to open face helmets, ever wondered why those guys always have black spots on their teeth?

Cheers

Warped

They're a pain in the ass off the road too. In karting they smash me in the face.

Annoying when concentrating!

The big, unexpected ones scare the crap out of me. When I am just pottle-ing along having a chill and WHANG off the visor or worse visor-up and WHACK of face or shades. Feckers.

Wait till you smash into a bumble bee, they make a real crash, makes you think you're heads gonna come off, they also make a real mess.

lol glad its a hoax.

when I read the title I thought, what the funk.. what makes an extremely serious fatality? dead's dead, right?

[blamchez]

[Stelmer]

I use the shower to wash the exterior of the lid..

[catbells]

[olionel]

I just keep my visor clean... the flies and etc fall off in time.. or get washed off.

[Visitor Q]

Call that a fly cover?

Go riding through the shady mountain roads of north wales mate, midge tastic.

Amazing how freaked out girls get about fly genocide helmets. Especially as I tend to wear plain white helmets, so it /really/ stands out.

Worst I've had was a big moth for vision, damn that thing detonated.

[cal91]

I know you probs shouldn't do this; but I use car wax on my visor. There is no glare or anything and it prevents any scratches being annoying in the light.
But best of all, when bugs splat I just use the side of my glove and it just wipes off with no mess
