I had a bad bug experience on my first season of riding.. ever since I don't ride my helmet unless it has a "chin skirt"... also this year we seem to have way more bugs than normal, so when you hit the Wings restaurant this week, ask for a few extra wet-naps and put them in your pocket....

Was getting on the highway, doing about 110 and climbing with the visor up, when a wasp/bee hit me directly on my left eye. Freaked me out, and when I got home I saw all that bug juice on my helmet..lesson learned, anytime im doing 100+ the visor goes down.
I used to wear a bright flourescent yellow Icon Patrol and it was one hell of a bug magnet. I'd end up with bugs crawling up my neck into my helmet at a stop too, it drove me nuts! I even had a wasp strike on the chin of the helmet, and the poor dying wasp ended up inside the helm with parts of him on my neck. Flourescent might make you a little more visible (not really, bad drivers will always be bad) but they sure as hell make you SUPER visible to bugs.
Here is an Idea for a thread... _ " I Bugged you" add a picture of your helmet after a buggy ride!

Just don't wear a visor and accept that's what happens when you ride, no? And, please people..... don't let it freak you out! Keep in control and ignore it till you can safely pull over and clean up! Remember you know you're a biker when you can name bugs by flavor!

never fails, even with a chin skirt i still get little bugs in my helmet, and 9 times out of 10 they end up flying into my eye
Sunglasses under the visor... fashion faux pas be damned.
LOL damn, that's crazy, I've only had little bugs splat on my shield so far... I hope I don't get any Wasp in my helmet...
Simoncelli apparently was asked if he was afraid of dying in a racing accident & he responded: "NO. You live more for 5 minutes going fast on a bike like that than other people do in all of their life."

And there is the reason I got a full face helmet......
