Took a Praying Mantis in the shoulder at 90 MPH on my buddies K900 years ago THWACK!. Don't understand why people like to ride with open face when I get home and have to clean the bug debris off my face shield.
Even with a windshield bugs, rocks and bird sh1t have gotten through. I was on a short ride on a rural road the other day on the Adventurer (no windshield) wearing my full face helmet when a kid flew past me on a crotch rocket wearing no helmet and no eye protection. My face shield was covered with bugs so I wondered how far he was going to make it. Like a former boss of mine used to say, "You pays your money and you takes your chances."
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
