That feeling you get...

That feeling...When you're going 50+ MPH on your bike, and you notice a spider crawling on the handlebars...That feeling. I've never felt so alive.

Handlebars? Meh. Inside of helmet visor? Excitement.

I was just talking to a friend of mine who had a wasp fly into his helmet during a 50 MPH turn haha

I never really thought about this stuff but I guess it really does happen.

You guys ever see that mythbusters when they tested to see if a motorcyclist could be killed by hitting an insect? http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/my...ct-impact.html

my god, when i read his story i just about started crying.... **** spiders. i seriously hate them. **** them in their tiny web-filled asses.

Byakkotai · October 22nd, 2012, 08:23 PM

Speaking of boots - scorpions anyone?

The spiders in Socal are on average, pretty big

only tropical spiders in Asia I've run into are bigger...any South American members here ever run into Goliaths?

^ Yeah I probably would have ended up in a horrible crash and died lol

The MSF needs to have a class where they train you for these situation with live simulations haha. The final exam should have a black widow inside of your helmet while going 80 MPH.

How about being attacked by an antelope.

Would it just splat in your helmet if a wasp was in it.

+1!

Ive had a bee in my helmet twice now!! Found one at 75mph, thought it was a bead of sweat on my forehead and kept trying to shake it off then it walked onto my visor

The other I felt it hit my nose and start walking around on me

jeffreys24 · October 24th, 2012, 10:16 AM

If you feel your going to crash from a spider on your bars you should probably reconsider riding a motorcycle. Not very safe.

haha I never said I was gonna crash, it just got my adrenaline pumping

akima · October 24th, 2012, 12:47 PM

I would be honored to have a little spider decide to join me for a ride.

Just this morning a cricket rode all the way to work with me on my tank

2012-10-24 08.10.33.jpg
2012-10-24 08.10.17.jpg

He didn't hop off the entire way (~40 min ride).

When I finished work I checked my tank and he was gone, but then as I was riding I noticed him behind my wind screen! He must've spent the entire day on my bike. He then traveled all the way back to my home with me.

I think he might be the world's fastest cricket. We got up to 70MPH together

Goom · October 24th, 2012, 01:30 PM

I had some sort of bug that I couldn't identify climb up behind the edge of my windscreen the other day. It freaked me out when I first saw it out of the corner of my eye. I finally just flicked it away because trying to figure out what it was distracted me more than it probably should have.
