This hit your helmet at 65 mph?

It is Cicada season in the South. Nature's 2-cycle insect.

Gaa, I hate those things.  Those and June bugs.  I can't even turn my porch light on when I leave or else there's tons of them buzzing around my door when I get home.  I hate bugs.  Never had one hit my helmet yet, thankfully.

Last year we had a 17 year "brood" hatch in MD.  I have never seen anything like that.IIt thought it was kind of cool...the GF thought it was kind of scary--she actually refused to go outside at times.

For about a month, we have an annual gnat convention on the west end of 520.  I have to wash a pile of carcasses off of the helmet and headlight when I get home.  And when I do, I can't help thinking of the Harley dudes in skullcaps or half helmets - yummy...

You know, I have often wondered how those guys ride without anything other than shades.  I have had so much crap hit my helmet I wouldn't even think of riding without it, especially in the country (or whatever you call it in florida...the everglades I guess).

big Grasshoppers (also known as locust) are nasty too.  They can leave bruises.

Had birdstrike at about 50 MPH last year.
I saw it coming and ducked so it just glanced the top of my helmet. Still left me a bit stunned though.

Junebugs will paint your visor an array of gut-like colors if rammed into at the right speed...

As ace ventura would say,,... Yummmmy.
