So, my Shoei Hornet used to have this really nice chin skirt. Kept the wind from blowing up and getting my neck and making everything cold. It also keeps the wasp that blew in my open visor from getting out. It did piss him off something fierce and after 9 stings and one near highside the chin skirt is now in my bag.

Haven't quite figured out how to practice emergency stops while getting my face chewed off by a wasp.

I suppose I can't really say that it was or was not a wasp. I also couldn't say that I could identify a wasp from a yellowjacket from a hornet while not moving much less while approaching it. I know it was yellow, and it bit. That's enough for me!

I suppose that this experience was good in that I now know that I'm very lucky, and I can take my helmet off with my gloves on very, very quickly.

Sorry Tsaven, I didn't take any pictures. I really didn't rock Jay Leno chin very well.
