A bee hitting a leather jacket at 40 mph is very bad for the bee.

[In_The_Wind]

Luckily I had the zipper all of the way up this time. Last time that happened the zipper was only 1/3 of the way closed and the bee wound up inside my tank top.:grr:

[MissHoneychurch]

1. OUCH

was the bee that ended up in your tank top still alive? I can imagine you very stopping VERY fast ....

[In_The_Wind]

2. it was very small and lively

I didn't stop at all (being 3 wheels has many advantages) but I musta looked very funny :silly: to the cars traveling the other was as I franticly tried to remove the bee while riding.

[MissHoneychurch]

3. LOL

I just have the picture in front of me ... :rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

4. it was funny but ...

I did get 3 small stings :cry: before I said "oops God You're gonna need to make another one of these" as I smashed the invasive little critter !

[MissHoneychurch]

5. I remember when I just came to Savannah

one of the first weekends I got stung by a wasp. I was wearing a shirt with long trumpet sleeves. A wasp decided to explore that piece of clothing. OUCH!!!! I am not allergic but it did swell quite some.

[In_The_Wind]

6. no allergies here

You just had to mention Savannah again.:cry: I want to go to the beach:woohoo:

Don't ya hate it when the wildlife becomes too invasive ~

[MissHoneychurch]

7. Sigh

... just imagine ... the trip from Savannah to Tybee on your trike, the warm wind blowing, the smell of the ocean .... lemme check the next flights ... LOL

[In_The_Wind]

8. flights ?

are you flying over ?

It's only 913 miles from here to Tybee Island. ( as per mapquest.com )

[MissHoneychurch]

9. you think I swim there?

:P

[In_The_Wind]

10. are you serious

I thought you weren't flying over for quite some time to come

[MissHoneychurch]

11. I was joking

[In_The_Wind]

12. Damn ~ I hate a tease !

but I'll forgive you :hug:

[Wapsie B]

13. Oh that would hurt on bare skin.

Thank god you had a jacket on.

[In_The_Wind]

15. *whimper* it did the last time

this time the zipper was all of the way up O8) it's just so hard to catch a tan like that :dilemma:

[BikeWriter]

14. Catch one butt first in the middle of your forehead sometime!

OUCH!

[In_The_Wind]

18. ahem ... that's why they offer face shields for helmets

doesn't do a damn bit of good at red lights but it beats having bugs bouncing off your cheeks when you're riding at dusk

[BikeWriter]

29. Those things strain the hell out of your neck!

[In_The_Wind]

35. What can I say ~ It's all part of bein tuff enuff !

~ ya gotta do what ya just gotta do ~

[BikeWriter]

36. Tuff enuff I once went three years without riding in a four wheeler...

except at the refinery where I worked, which I commuted to seventy miles each way on Harleys.

[In_The_Wind]

37. 70 miles each way on a Harley

The last time I rode 2 wheels for transportation was when my first car was a motorcycle ~ because I couldn't afford a car. Today, I'm happy that I'm riding for fun.

I honestly had no doubt about you being *tuff enuff* (((I've seen your pictures)))
.

140 miles a day, 5 days a week for 3 years :toast:

[BikeWriter]

38. LOL! Thanks. My co-workers would bet on me with another unit...

some mornings when there would be snow, hail, or rain. :) Here's to being in the wind. :toast:

[In_The_Wind]

39. snow ?! hail ?!

Yikes!

I rode on New Year's Day when there was snow covering everything ... except the road.


:toast: In The Wind ~

16. Owie!

I'm glad it wasn't your eye!

A friend of mine told me about getting ready to leave for a wedding gig when she went in the backyard to say goodbye to her husband, and stepped too close to a nest of yellow-jackets. Her hair was moussed to the max, and the damn hornets were stuck in it, stinging her head and every other place they could get to. :scared:

[In_The_Wind]

21. she has my sympathy

elaborate hairdos and outdoor activities often have unexpected outcomes:hide:

[Parche]

17. bee

So it didnt hit your Boo..............bees?

[In_The_Wind]

23. yes ~ it did !

:cry:

[Sugar Smack]

19. I was biking downhill at 20 MPH, and I engaged with a bee.

It flew right into my sweatshirt. This was the eighties, so I was singing, "There's no stopping us". Feeling free in Cade's Cove, TN. Then, When the bee flew into my sweatsirt, or I "scooped" it up, I jumped off my bike, which went trailing off into the woods by itself. Then, I tore my sweat shirt off and danced a frenzied dance roadside.

[Sugar Smack]

20. Y'KNOW WHAT? I've killed 8 threads today for no apparent

reason, and I REFUSE to kill this one!!!!!!!!!

[In_The_Wind]

[In_The_Wind]
