Yeah... That's a part of the biker life I would not have thought about.... Maybe why helmets are more popular down south... Nothing like that up in here. I never worried about helmets and such... Not that I did much on (road) bikes anyhow.
Smoke, does it mess up that gypsy leather vibe when you catch one of them big ol corn moths right in the teeth?
@Smokin Joe
Never caught a corn moth, but I was riding past Buffalo, SD one year and got nailed by one of the largest grasshoppers I have ever seen. It hit right over my heart, and splattered me, but good--even got some on the goggles I wear. It took three rides through thunderstorms to get that mess off the cut...
I have been through mosquito swarms so thick I had to pull over and clean my goggles to see. Times like that, you kinda do a reverse pucker under the moustache and use it for an air filter...and blow the dead bugs out of your nostrils...
