I was out for a ride minding my own business when the Luke Skywalker of the bug world got me. Here I am helmet on, glasses on, visor down cruising around 70mph when SMACK! A bug hits. Now I have been hit by millions of these little pests in over 30 years of riding but this one managed to target the vent and disintegrate with such explosive force that parts of it made it behind the visor, glasses, and into my right eye. Blink. Blink. Blink.
No pain. Just a dry itchy feeling. I finished the ride, checked the eye, no concerns.
I woke up in the morning. Now I usually stumble around trying to find my way of my room past the knee deep motorcycle gear in the dark, but I was having trouble and the sun was up. I couldn't open my right eye. The lid was stuck together with goop.
It got me.

 

go play the lottery

 

+1^ and don't go outside during any thunderstorms for the next 6 weeks or so.

 

haha good story

 

i hit a humming bird three or four weeks ago at about 75 mph. I couldnt believe something hit me that hard it snapped my neck back. there was blood all over my helmet starting in the top center and went down to the right and the blood was on inside and outside of my visor. i got to work and the guys were like wtf did you hit. but +1 on not going outside in a thunderstorm anytime soon lol. although if you do get struck by lightning GO PLAY THE LOTO. you are 2 times more likely to win the loto then be struck by lightning

 

^that could turn out to be a really cool picture I think

 

I think I'll take my chances on the bike! I'll pick up a lottery ticket too...
I am trying to figure out how to install a lightning rod on the helmet, it will double as a bug zapper if it works. LOL

 

it would be a way more epic gif

 

Touche sir!

 

So how's the eye? Any lasting irritation?

My dad had a similar experience that nearly cost him an eye. It got infected & he ended up having to administer prescription drops for months, take meds, & multiple eye doc visits.
