I got NAILED smack dab in the middle of my forehead - I swear, it looked like I'd been pelted with a baseball... just a HUGE red welt. Horrible. Painful. Lesson learned... I've never ridden without a lid (and gear) since. |

Those half-helmeters are so tough and badass they like getting bug-faced.
I've had bugs hit me so hard that I could feel pain through my jacket. Also I had a bee hit my face shield hard enough to scrape off the mirror finish.

I had a bug hit me in the neck between my jacket and helmet going 80 in the highway. Felt like somebody stuck a knife in my throat.

Shit, I had one hit me in the jaw after my bike's windscreen deflected it upwards. Hurt like hell!

I've been hit by some big ones coming back from the gap down by the lake at speed in the leathers that hurt the shit out of me. I can't imagine taking one of those suckers to the face.
