Kinda glad I wasn't the only one! Coming back from the Donner Ski Ranch
Mo'cycle extravaganza, we slowed for the town of Sierra City. To ingest cool
air into the helmet I raised the visor, immediately a yellowjacket/wasp/
hornet entered and proceeded to get stuck betwixt my eyebrow and glasses.
It's very pissed and jabs me with goodness 3 or 4 times, then flies out! Now
I've never forced my beat up face into a charcoal bar-b-que (on purpose),
but I think I can surmise what it would feel like! Thank God it didn't hit
my eye!
The left eye was semi-closed for 2 days, and the 100+ temps all the way home
really didn't help. Helmet removal and installation was also a scream.
Hope you fared better than I,
Jim
