My worst biking nightmare came true

So I’m riding along to the gym this afternoon when something flys in through my visor, down inside my jacket and inside my t-shirt.Already freaking out that there is another living creature sharing my clothing with me (other than my wife) I’m hoping and praying that it wasn’t a wasp.

I guess my faith needed a little work because the little bugger started stinging me. Thankfully, I was close to my destination so one hand on the throttle and the other hand masochistically punching the crap out of myself in order to kill it, I try to complete the journey.

Then it starts to migrate downwards to my waist band and by this point I’m really freaking out. I don’t like wasps at the best of times, let alone when they’re co-habiting with me.

I pull into the car park, having nearly binned it turning into the lane, and whilst holding the area on my waist where I think it’s settled, hard enough to keep it still and dead, I start frantically undressing.

A kindly lady with her two kids, pulls up next to me and I randomly pick a conversation with her (thinking she’d seen me weaving all over the road) explaining why I am standing in the middle of the car park undressing.

Thankfully she helps me get my jacket off, bloody zips, and then retrieves a wasp ease spray from her car. You have to love mothers who are prepared for everything.

After taking my t-shirt off I extract the, now deceased, wasp and proceed to tap dance on it. Just in case.

All I can say is, IT BLOODY HURTS! :crying:

You’ve been striping off in public so a stranger can appy something to you in a car park - you know how dodgy that sounds ;):P:) If I didn’t know you I’d think you were making an excuse :hehe::stuck_out_tongue:

I’m in agonising discomfort and you mock :slight_smile:

This is one step down from man flu I’ll have you know.

:w00t:great read …glad you stayed upright pal !!:slight_smile:

pmsl :w00t:

Well I guess if it had gone far enough south and stung you the missus might have been pleased, what with all the swelling an all!! lol :smiley:

lol only after she’d finished laughing her un-sympathetic arse off :slight_smile:

LOL

pmsl as well… :w00t:

sorry mate, would hate it to happen but you’ve got to admit it’s a great story :slight_smile:

glad you got your revenge by tap-dancing on him… won’t make it hurt less but makes the pain more bearable :slight_smile:

:laugh:

You did well to stay as calm as you did, I’d have freaked out if that had happened to me.

Well done … and at least it didn’t migrate any further :wink:

Well, as they say, survival of the fittest :wink: It gave me its best shot, you have to give it respect for that :slight_smile:

I forgot to mention the stream of bad language that poured out in one incoherant sentence. Plus, when it did reach my waistband, I genuinley considered taking the rest of my clothes off and standing in my shreddies to try an extricate it. I just didn’t want to have to explain that to a magistrate when I got arrested for indecent exposure :wink:

Now we know what the name Roadkill is for :smiley:

You’re lucky it wasn’t a Hornet…

Its only a 600 but I wouldn’t want one of them in my jacket…

I’ll get my coat…:cool:

Hahahahahahahahahaha, superb :laugh:ba-dum-tsh…

Feel for ya mate!:w00t: Try having one go in yer lid and head directly for ya ear!

the last time it happened i was bombing along a country lane and nearly ended up in a ditch…all my mates thought it hysterical though it stung me 4 or 5 times hence me getting the nickname…:stuck_out_tongue:

WASP I though it was because of your bike ?

Lesson learned though RK … make sure you change your undies every day :stuck_out_tongue:

:smiley: damn unlucky mate…

never seen a wasp-roadkill

:w00t::smiley:

Ouchy!

:smiley:

Glad you’re ok though!:slight_smile:

You should have let it go further south and bite you.

No excuses then that the wife can give for not giving you some special kisses. :wink:

Gridgirl…The bike is a Hornet 250 that i had re-built to my specs and my name WASP put on the tank!:smiley:

Oh and vinegar is brilliant on wasp stings:pinch::hehe:
