Ok, so I'm a relatively new rider (just got 2011 Fz6r brand new, first bike, last November) so in a little under a year of riding and I've kept the shiny side up in the 8k miles I've put on it thus far http://www.600cc.org/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif; but here's the single most random/annoying thing that's ever happened to me:
I'm on a two hour tour home from visiting some old college buddies, happily cruising along around 75mph on probably the least exiting freeway in existence (I-5), when a catch a glimpse of something small zip over my windshield, pass under the chin of my helmet, and hit me square at the base of my throat (which was about the only square inch of skin not covered by leather) and proceeds to fall INTO MY JACKET... I'm thinking to my self "gosh... I sure hope whatever that was didn't have a stinger..."
...I wasn't so lucky...
Within ten minutes, the little baster came to, probably thought to itself "Let's do this!" :sinister: and proceeds to STING ME IN MY FREAKIN SIDE while I'm cheerfully cruising down the freeway at 75mph mind you.
After the initial *ZING* I'm left a bit dumbfounded thinking "Did that seriously just happen????" and seconds later it settles and I'm left thinking "THAT SERIOUSLY JUST HAPPPENED
Anyways, I didn't panic, just promptly crushed the little bastard in my jacket, pulled off at the next exit, and stopped to shake "the Little Honey Bee That Could"s corpse out of my jacket and scrape his ass out of my side (which had separated from the rest of him), did one of these :facepalm: and continued on my merry way in utter disbelief at the unlikelyhood of what had just taken place.
So ask you forum... Has anything like this ever happened to you?
