 Posted: 12:17 - 13 May 2015 Post subject: flying bugs at night (tested yellow cellophane) |
 |
|
It's getting warmer. I wore half pants and T shirt, started riding at night along the river. A bunch of bugs flying toward me I wore mask on my face, so I could avoid eating them.
And flying bugs hit my arms and legs, they are so annoying.
How do you cope with this?
Is there a light which doesn't allure bugs?? ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250

Bugs hitting my arms and legs would be a fucking blessing. The bastards seem to deliberately fly straight down my throat.
Still, meat is meat and a man must eat! ____________________ Current bike - 2018 H2-SX, 2004 SV1000s, 2016 Aprilia RSV4 RF, 2017 Sherco SERF 300, 2003 Suzuki DRZ400 (stolen - AY53 JUU) |

That's a huge hornet I was once stung in my forehead. It was much smaller bee though. It crashed me and stung me. (I didn't crash it) I felt irrationalness. ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250

Would 'helpless' be the word you wanted?
EDIT: Crap, I'm in the cycling forum. Aargh, I feel so dirty, gotta go disinfect myself.  ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |

I found that yellow light won't allure bugs that much. I'm gonna test yellow film on my light  ____________________ own:2020 Serow 250

Bought yellow cellophane and did a test.
It was cooler than last night, wasn't a best day to do a test, but I found a some what difference between white and yellow light.
With yellow light, bugs don't fly straight into me.
They are like fog light of a car.
I spent only 130yen to do this test. This yellow light may be very helpful for me. I want to test it at hot summer night.
