For those of you that wear a full face helmet, has anyone had any bugs get under your helmet? The first time this happened a fly got up under the face shield and was flying around in my helmet, that was on some country roads doing about 55 or 60. The second time that happened a ladybug got under my helment and crawled around on my face shield while I was on the highway doing about 60 or 65. You know, if the ladybugs land on your face when they close their wings it pinches. I would rather have a bee up in there than a ladybug.
bug’s will get into your helmet any which way they can. I’ve had them come in from the top vents, the back vents, and under the chin. I’ve had a yellow jacket get into my leather jacket and into my undersuit and sting me a few times before i smooshed his ass against the gas tank. and take my word for it, you don’t want to get stung by a bee or anything else with a stinger in your head area.

around, I want it caught and shot now…
One of the reasons I dont wear a full face, is I ran through a bee sworm and got several inside at once.
My buddy behind me said he never saw a helmet fly off of someoen going down the road. It looked like I lost my head for a second. He was nice enough to stop and pick it up for me.
I was going through some twisties in the forest a few weeks ago, and the local fire dept was doing controlled burns near the highway which brought all the little bugs into the road. my bike/helmet/jacket got COVERED by these little gnat-type bugs, some got on my neck and up on my chin. They didnt last through the impact, but they were still annoying.
