This is the SECOND TIME it’s happened. I grab my brain bucket, pull on the gloves and jump on my Magna. I cruise around the corner, up the street, and hit the highway. When I hit 60MPH, the airflow through my helmet’s vents, dislodges anything that crawled into them.
What happens is I get up to speed, and all the sudden there is a Speeider crawling on my face shield. Normal reaction is to swat it. Well, tonight I swatted it. It of course, being INSIDE my face shield… was unhurt. So it jumped onto my face. On my cheek. Then it ran under my eyeglasses. (Insert the “Scream Like A Girl” sound effect)
At 60 Miles Per Hour. There it is. On my eye. Under a face shield, and glasses, and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it until I calmly pull over and stop. BTW, my bike can make a stop from 60 in about 5 feet.
