What's the first thing that enters a bee's mind when it hits your visor at 60 mph . . . ?
Extract from S01E14 of Motorcycle Road Trips, across 6 Scottish Islands and 9 ferries.

Better a Bee than a stone.

a co worker was into sport bikes and one night he and his buddies were running through some twisty roads by a river. Suddenly something went thwak! and he thought his head was going to fly off. He couldn't see anything. Managed to get stopped and off the road and found out that he had hit a bat, which was now clinging onto the front of his full faced helmet. LSS the bat was dead and my friend got extremely lucky both to have a full face helmet and for getting stopped

This is a great video showing why you should have your visor up at all times. I was riding on my scooter a few years back, and was going about 35miles per hour with my visor down, a car kicked up a stick and it hit my eye so hard that i wasnt able to see out of it properly for multiple days. Something as small as a stick and only going 35mph. I could've gone blind had i been going faster. Always riding with my visor down now except for certain situations like rain but even then its sparringly.

Kevin you were very lucky to have had your visor down. at the time. a close friend of mine lost an eye many years ago when something hit his face while riding his motorbike.. don't know if it was a stone thrown up by a passing vehicle. I always wore sunglasses up till this happened .. after I bought a helmet with a full visor. as always keep yourself safe and well mate

[@richardholappajr.6184]

Great shot, nice to have that full face helmet with the shield. I've been there.

[@contactmiller]

That was a giant bumble bee, it looked like to me.

[@petedavis3276]

Crikey, he's a big 'un!

[@firealarmguy270]

To be or not to be I guess not to bee

[@CountryHouseGent]

That is the question. 😎

[@Daytona2]

Oh of course, that's worth a Short 👍 Pro camera & sound set-up, to catch that. RIP bumble bee 🐝

[@RoundaboutVintage]

Several bees!

[@Balthazar1963]

Good thing you (Kevin) were wearing a helmet with a visor and not a bonnet! Otherwise....

[@richardhyatt-beekeeping]

Ha, bet it won't do that again!

[@tomot6581]

What was the last thing to go through that bees mind.... its arse

[@CountryHouseGent]

😁

[@rickeys]

You beat me to it! 😂

[@kevinmiller4371]

I just realized I've never seen anyone get stung by one of those massively huge bees. Those ones or the horrifying black ones.

[@stuffedcrust9324]

they’re carpenter bees they don’t sting, they bite

[@alexcook9925]

Bumblebees are extremely important and docile. I've never been stung by 1 and I've gotten extremely close. Hornets n wasps are the ones to worry about

[@kevinmiller4371]

@@stuffedcrust9324 Oh I see. So they can bite us over and over. That seriously sucks.

[@kevinmiller4371]

@@alexcook9925 Yeah I've had a few big yellow and black ones and a few black ones fly into me and all around me without stinging me.

[@patrickjames1080]

Had one fly up my shorts - yep big bite

[@christianrios6295]

One got in and stung my back yesterday! Got me twice Went through one of the holes in my denim vest I guess😭

[@CarlHayes-fc2lu]

That would be a wasp not a bee lol

[@kevinmiller4371]

Was it a big bee like this one or a normal bee?

[@alexcook9925]

​@kevinmiller4371 bees only sting once, if it was twice it was a hornet or wasp.

[@IEappy]

Yea I got bit 8 times by a single contractor bee after me and my friends threw a rock at a huge bees nest.

[@kevinmiller4371]

@@alexcook9925 Oh ok. Thank you for the info. I'm not positive but I think I'm allergic to bees and I really can't stand bugs so I try to avoid them but I do like to know about them.
