it's happened to me TWICE!!!

first time ....something stung me on my side...quick needle-like pain.

last week it happened again... stung me 3 times on my chest.

I assume the things get in a loose sleve on my t-shirts.
Not life threating ( unless you have severe allergy ) still it hurts and could cause an accident if it distracts you enough while riding.
part of the riding experience I guess...

wha'cha gonna' do?

Happened to me for the first time this last weekend. Got stuck between my helmet and forehead above my left eye. Stung me twice before I could brush it away. Got my attention in a hurry, that's for sure.

I just said, "OUCH" when I read this.

Had a wasp whack me in the forehead and then fall down the bridge of my nose behind my shades. Lil f'er got me a few times below my right eye before I was able to stop and beat the crap outa him. Took me a few minutes to find my glasses, helmet etc on the side of the road cuz everything was just tossed away in a frantic attempt to stop the bugger. Managed to get home driving 'left-eyed' since my right one was swollen shut.

Sleeveless shirt - 70mph - left armpit -OUCH. Got me twice. The funny thing is I haven't been stung in 20 years. I've got it three times in the last two weeks.

Happened to my girlfriend on the golf course. She got stung between the first and second hole. I think her stance was too wide.

I usually get it at least once per year. Had them up my short sleeve shirt a few times, in the biceps twice but the one that really got my attention was up my pants leg. I had my feet up on my hiway pegs, my pant legs were somewhat puffed out due to all the air flowing up them. Then the little bastard got me. I had my wife on the back so I had to keep it together. I grabbed a bunch of pants trying to stop/kill the thing but I must have missed. I figured this out as soon as he nailed me again. This time farther up my leg, the little bugger was moving north and I was still trying to slow down. It took everything I could do to stop the bike safely and keep the SOB from getting to the jewels. When the wife asked what was wrong I was to busy jerking my pants down on the side of the road trying to get rid of my new hitcher. He hit me 4 times and I think would have done more if I hadn't stopped him. I can still picture the little girl looking out the back window of her family's car as they drove by me with my pants down around my ankles and me swatting at that bee. I get cold sweats just thinking about it.
