New Group: The 20MPH Club

Oh yeah.

I took a june bug on the face shield at 65 once.

Bang, splat. Big splat mark.

If that thing hit me in the face it would have hurt.
 
Now i've spend some time at google about carpenter bees and june bugs, man their sizes scares me...don't make a trip without a goggle, or you going to be a one eyed jack....:D
 
u have any idea how hard it is to get a mosquito that just went spalt in your eye out .

glasses are a mandatory otherwise you will go rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
Took a bird on the face shield doing 60mph many years ago and it sure woke me up. Maybe that's why the 60's and 70's are somewhat of a blurr. Nah! that's not the reason but it sounds good.

Back in my motorcycle riding days in South Texas I crested the top of a hill and it had just broke day light, and there were 2 turkey buzzards having breakfast in the middle of the road. These things have sometimes almost a 6' wing span and don't get air borne real fast. I hit one at about 60mph smashed into my flaring, and bounced off the top of my head. If it wasn't for the flaring all busted to **** I'd probably be dead today. I was all covered in buzzard **** and feathers. Maybe thats why the called me buzzard****, now I just use buzzard.
The "REAL" true buzzard

The Mid-Maryland Chapter got out early for about an 18 mile run this morning. Probably the best day we've ever had to ride. Mid 70's and hardly any traffic out on the country backroads, but I do need to report that "old" Silverbear blew by me at well over 30 MPH at one point. I didn't think much about it at the time, but something has to be done about it, I just don't know what. Anyone have a suggestion?

usflgi used the huffy 26 inch cranbrook, if you have this bike, you WILL ned a universal large frame front bracket, and bend the coaster brake out a bit

When he's not looking, 'adjust' his brakes for him?

Dan,
Remind him that he told me he wanted to climb the hills easier, not to do over 20 mph and he said it more than once too.
The kid in us never dies. Show us an envelope and we just have to push it.

I'm thinking tow rope, he'll never get far ahead!
