For the second time in my life today

[NONE_too_SOFT]

A bee has hit me in the neck and travelled down my shirt, only to bite and sting the fuck out of me. i still have the orriginal bee in my nightstand in a ziploc bag, and i now have the second fucker wrapped in my sock awaiting his own proper memorial...

There is nothing like being stung on the stomach in the middle of rush hour traffic, E-braking into the nearest parking lot, and stripping off your helmet, gloves, backpack, jacket, and t-shirt in front of 30 or so helpless bystandards.


sheesh.

[t-homo]

that blows.

[Trip]

that blows.

actually that stings, but leave it to you to think it blows.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

it did sting, it did not blow.

[askmrjesus]

it did sting, it did not blow.

You have my empathy Way back in 1977 I was riding around with an open face helmet and wearing sunglasses when a wasp hit me in the eyebrow went donw under the sunglasses an stung my eyelid and under my eye took about week before I could open my eye and see clearly again

[Particle Man]

oh shit....

being stung isnt the worst part though, the terrible part is the situation youre in. not being able to stop. having to be patient as this bug has its way with you. Not killing yourself over a bee sting.

[racedoll]

At least you are not allergic to them.

[Porkchop]

I've never had a bee.... but a big ass June bug bonsaied my neck the other night.

i was honestly wondering if maybe i'd developed an alergy to them, this sunovabitch hurt BAD. it was one of those big ass bumble bees too, i've gone my whole life wondering whether they could sting you or not, and now i regret not killing every single one i've ever encountered.

Had a bee hit me in the neck. Thought it was a good idea to get home asap since I've never been stung by one. I could feel my throat close up some.


Not riding, but I had a red jacket sting me in the temple. Felt like someone punched me in the head. Man that hurt.

sheesh.

That happened to me while I was riding with Pistonpete on the skyway. I had less than an inch of my jacket unzipped and that fucker stung me three times down my chest and stomach....I almost rode off the mountain at 110.

[NONE_too_SOFT]

yea nothing more exciting than fishtailing in rushour traffic and practically backin it into a parking lot while some little fucker is having his way with you.

[smileyman]

Kudos on bike control in that situation, alot of folks woulda panicked and dumped it.

Yep, bumblebees hurt. They say the white-faced ones don't sting, but I'm not taking any chance. I fuckin hate bees.

I had a yellow jacket up the sleeve incident once.

[t-homo]

See, if you didn't wear a jacket it wouldn't get stuck and probably just bounce off of you.

I had this happen while riding in the NC mountains. I got stung in the chest while going through some twisties...honestly thought "is this what a heart attack would feel like...surely I'm not having one" :lol:. Finally got to a pull off and while standing there explaining it to the two riders with me the SOB hit me again on the side of my stomach !! I at that point couldn't get my gear off fast enough and when I got down to my t-shirt and was pulling it off a little Yellow Jacket buzzes out and away...didn't even get to kill the $hit !! :lol Not fun.

I'm not going to tell the story about the time my buddy had a burrowing beetle fly into his helmet.

I'm definitely not going to explain all the gory details about how the beetle went into his ear, and ate through his eardrum while blood ran down his neck, because that would leave your bee-sting thread looking rather shabby and pathetic, and I'm just not that kind of guy.

I hit a bee at about 40 mph right on my neck and he stung me. For a second or two, I thought I had been shot it hurt so bad. I didn't see blood on my gloves so I didn't stop but when I got to the restroom at my destination, in the mirror I could see his stinger still in my neck.
