Just 2k from home on this morning's 60k (yes I went round the block just so I didn't get home after a 59.3k ride!) and a large bee flew under my sunglasses and got stuck between the frame and the glass, it was buzzin' and scrabbling about while I was trying to get from 41kph (why does this sort of thing only ever happen going downhill?) to stationary before it stung me.

I failed.

It stung me then flew off, last seen chasing a limping ginger cat!

Mrs T had to pull the sting out of the corner of my eye, yes the sting was big enough to do this, it even had a peice of bee a55 attached to it!

It hurt, but at least I will live :D
my isetta is a 300cc bike

    I understand your pain last year one gtr stuck in my helmet straps. Seemingly if you try to pinch them between your fingers to get them unstuck it actually hurts more, or so I found out.
