Agreed. As a passenger you also have the luxury of choosing to close your eyes. A fly will render you temporarily blind (and particularly uncomfortable) when they explode on impact with your eyeball. An unpleasant experience I hope not to repeat too often.


That`s why you wear goggles & look like a panda when you take them off after a long ride with all the filth in the air :shock:

Far more interesting than insurance, helmets and Benny from Crossroads and his woollen hat!


Well I was a rocker although had quite a few Mod friends.

Mods = scooters, discos & drugs in the 60s :shock:
