That was a joke...?

**Trainzz** · 08-03-2009, 08:53 AM

I agree.......

with Guy. I thought it was a pretty impartial, factual, and informative description of an event that has happened. Up to and including the licking part.................

Smell is one of the reasons I love driving at night, around here. In the mountains with all the evergreens, etc.

Especially after a rain...

Don't feel to bad Ivan, my jokes are often followed by "nobody gets me but me." And I have not taken any pain meds in about 18-20 years, so I can't even put it off on the pills.

Then again, maybe its all flashbacks....yeah...thats it...thats the ticket..yeah!

You know where I'm coming from Cnuk.....particularly if you don't wear a full face lid.

I could never figure the point of riding an open-air vehicle, while sealing my head in a fishbowl...

Bug splat

Don't taste very nice. also i waltzed onto a warm of grasshoppers (locusts) several years back wearing a flannel shirt doing about 85 mph, those bastards hurt. seriously pleased that i put up with BS from mates and had visor on open face

Used to love those evening rides on the levee roads in the CA. Delta. Damn those June bugs hurt!!

I think you are pretty normal. One of my dislikes are road kill. You can really get a good whiff of road kill on your bike, that's not too pleasant. Just like you, I enjoy riding in residential areas experiencing all the different smells. Fresh cut grass, bar-b-ques, different flowers, trees, restruants. Maybe your really missing out on something that would make your ride much more enjoyable with your "crippled" sense of smell. I mean.. whats more important? Enjoying the more fine things in life or coughing phlem up every morning just to suck another death stick down?

Don't get me wrong, I have chewed for years. Don't mean to be a hypocrite here.

**Crazcnuk** · 08-04-2009, 02:08 AM

personally, i duck.

31 years of open air, vs 31 years in a fishtank, just in case.

**cueball** · 08-04-2009, 03:51 AM

I can't duck

that quick. hard shelled bugs at high speed hurt and i don't need more scars on my face. am ugly enough as it is

. prefer open face but always have visor for out of town riding

It's a sad state of affairs. Men wanting to be pretty....

Next we'll be dyeing our hair, and shaving our armpits, too.

Strange part is, I look at least 10 years younger than I am, or so they tell me... So maybe the bug guts are a skin protector.

The smells are both my most favorite and least favorite part of riding. Worst smells are the summer roadkill. Best smell memory happened on my trip to TN five years ago. It was springtime and we were riding through Indiana just after a rainshower. Combine that with the farmer tilling up the earth in the field next to the road, and on top of it, the honeysuckle was in bloom. Oh man, that's one step shy of heaven.

**cueball** · 08-04-2009, 04:58 AM

Aint never gonna be pretty,

can live without being called that, but just don't need the pain of impact or the joy of getting bits of bug shell out of my face

call me a woose if you want, i can live with that
