my new bee helmet

[firetoole]

I got a new atmos about a month ago 4 times now I have had bees sucked into the vents and hang out on my head. anyone else have this problem?

Did you feel a sharp pain followed by throbbing and a bump on your mellon?

[LordOpie]

I've had bugs get stuck in my helmet. While I wear a skull cap for other reasons, I'd wear it just to keep the bugs out of my hair and crawling around.

I get bees and other bugs all the time - they crawl around for a while, get their bearings and then fly off.

Almost word-for-word as far as what I was going to post on this topic. I wear a Bell X-Ray and it's a bug-sucker if I ever had one. :stosh:

My Trek Anthem has somne huge vents that suck in bugs. They usually quickly fly out though.

What really gets me are the bees that fly into the half open jersey :dead:

Wait until you hit a wasp at 40+. I hit one so hard it buried it's stinger in the throat notch of the collar bone (whatever that's called). Ouch. I almost lost control of the bike trying to kill the second one, which survived the impact and was crawling around my jersey.

I believe your talking about the "Clavicle"
I had a bee go up my sleeve once on a downhill I just let him crawl around in there after he stung me till I could stop.

Had a neck to Bumble Bee collision at 100mph on the motorcycle once. Ouch!!

Haven't had too many bug problems riding on the road but on trail rides I've had spiders spin webs inside my helmet.

damn man! Just how slow were you going??!! :D

Ha!

This time of year there are so many spiders out onthe trail you get a facefull of web every 20 yards or so. By the end of a ride I am covered with webs and some of the little critters start making a home on my helmet. Never had one bite me so I could care less, figure they might actually eat some ticks I could pick up.

i've dubbed my helmet the black hole. i get **** in it all the ****ing time. it's a matte black so i figured nothing would fly into like what you'd think would go on with a bright colored helmet ;/

[LordOpie]

Ah, good point ^

We already have the TrunkMonkey. Why not the HelmetSpider? Maybe we could get dh_girlie to beta test?

[firetoole]

I think I will try to design some sort of wire mesh deal

Assos bandanna, under either my E2 or Pneumo. Having a shaved head means red a and white stripes otherwise from the sunburn.

But it has stopped a wasp stinging my head which is a bonus over not having head cancer when I'm older.

X-Rays rule. The only lid that will fit my giant egghead :thumb:
Plus, I have lots of hair so bugs have a hard time getting to my scalp.
