I've got to start putting my helmet in the house at nights from now on. It's been in my garage on a shelf.

Yesterday I was riding to work on the freeway and all of the sudden I see something big crawling around on the inside of my visor. Instinctively I tried to wipe it away from the outside but no luck. I had to pull over and take my helmet off. That sucker was big! I don't know where it was for the first 10 miles of my commute but it decided to come out and terrorize me half way to work.

 

Better than the squirrel that ate into my wiring harness to store some seeds. No I have no bike

 

I thought it was only rats that chewed through wires. You'll have to stop storing your bike under the nut tree.....or buy the cute little guy its own house with a pantry. Can't cost more than about $30.

 

yea i thought about this scenario before it happened to me. Gloves and helmet in the house and dont lay it on the ground bcuz of ants.

 

o man...that would of freaked me out bad..I hate spiders

 

Lol. Spiders don't bother me, but I definitely don't want them in my helmet while riding. That's freakin funny

 

I too have spider problems in my garage. Eggs here, webs there. Spiders everywhere.

I leave my gear inside my house.

I usually don't kill the spiders unless I see that they are trying to colonize in my garage--which incidentally happened recently. I went on a murder spree. LOL.

They just won't go away though.

Oh, well. Mother nature usually wins anyway!

 

OMG I would have crashed lol

I hate spiders, all gear is always inside the house.

 

Few months ago I was riding in the country and I had my helmet visor slightly opened. All of the sudden something was sucked in and all I could see was some big wings flattering between my eves and the visor.
I was lucky I was alone on the road, pulled immediately by, and took off the helmet.
A 3-4 cm big (the body was rather small, but the legs and the wing was big) mosquito just flew out...

p.s. - yes, I know that was a male mosquito, and they don't bite - just the female do, but it was definitely not a pleasant feeling...

 

I would be typing this from a body cast if that would of been me. I can do blood gut vomit or any other bodily fluid, but But no FREAKING SPIDERS LOL
