what you been hit by.

riding at talihena last year and my buddy ben got throat punched by a bat, had to drop back cause he disapeared and he was on the side of the road doing the "i need the heimlich" hand positions haha. couldve been worse for sure. my dad caught a buzzard in the windscreen of a rental car... that wouldve been a bad day on a bike.

small rocks after they gravel the roads in the winter.

hopefully no ones gone down like this on the highway...

besides the usual crap that flies around in summer I got almost hit by a cat that was ran over by the car in front of me. Would really have been a mess.

Had an 18 wheeler blow a tire while I was right next to it. I hear this loud TWANG, PING as it comes fucking unglued not a foot from my bike and metal and rubber flies past the front of my helmet. I got hit with a decent chunk in the side of the melon, and took off out of there. Slowed down once I hit my Rocket's rev limiter at 145, pulled over, and was surprised I didn't have a permanent ass-pucker mark in my seat.

All the bugs of summer.
There is also a time towards the end of summer around here where, if you ride just after sunset, you will be covered in exploded moths.

Also there are a lot of Silica quarries around here.....so getting stuck behind one of those trucks sucks so bad you just have to pull over and put some distance between or get past them.

Also hit a bird doing bout 75. Felt like a baseball to the stomach until a wing flapped at my side. I turned my body a lil and it was gone.

Had a kid whip a piece of chalk and hit me in the face while riding.

I actually lost some cheesy iron cross mirror and watched it bounce right past my buddies head. He was like "Dude, I woulda caught it if you had let me know." Pretty funny dude.

The usual bugs but the one thing that was really bad was a rock or piece of wood (I don't remember) about the size of a golf ball that nailed me in the lower jam.

Bee in the mouth at 70 with my wife on back, pulled over to pull the stinger out, she accidentally squeezed it and shot all the venom into my bottom lip, right where you would put a dip. Noticed we were pulled over right next to the bee boxes, jumped on and took off as fast as we could haha. Went out to eat dinner with a fat ass JJ Walker lip. Also bunny hopped a 4x4 on the freeway, you know when you hammer the throttle to lighten the front end, then chop the throttle before the rear wheel hits, it worked, thought I was going down for sure. If I would have hit the brakes I would have gone down for sure.

Took a bee sting in my left titty, went from an A cup to a B cup within the hour. Stayed that way for a couple days. Couldn't leave myself alone.

Hahaha, when Biltwell had the lake party I drove right through a swarm of bees on the second day, I had them down my shirt, in my helmet and even had a couple stings on my ass - lol I literally got stung all over. I remember that night everyone having a great time and I felt like total shit - sucked!

I didn't get hit but a mustang blew a tire and spun out two lanes over and one car length ahead of me coming back from born free last year. I assume it blew a tire. All I know was I saw smoking tires, evasive manuevers from other drivers and the car facing the wrong direction as I eventually passed it.

had a wasp get caught in my collar and sting me as I tried to let it out, *squish*, lots of large bugs

some fool left a christmas tree in the road ,me with dark glasses at night ,sorta jumped the tree stayed upright ,,but stained draws was the outcome,,,

I was a couple of minutes behind some poor bastard on the highway that had a similar thing happen to him... He didn't appear to be as lucky .
