Really? I’ve been riding for 34 years now...even in shorts and have NEVER had a bug shred my skin down to the bone. The falacy of these studies assumes that if these accident victims were wearing a helmet that they would have lived. WRONG! Most of these older bikers have relatively little time in the saddle...they think that buying a POS Harley and the full official Harley regalia will turn them into a badass. WRONG! Most are just posers.
Just from riding a bicycle, I know what dangers there are from bugs; shred it to the bone, I don’t know; but I can see that or gravel being able to create a disturbance in much more intense environments than I am in on the bicycle.
Great! 34 years and you’re still a newbie!
Did I say to the bone?
Did I even say the “Rider”?
I implied passenger, and I said to the muscle. Maybe you can’t see or care about the difference.
I guess I’m just not as cool as you after my 42 years of riding. But then I’m just an old hog rider so that must put me in a ‘category’.
And as long as newbies like you hate old guys like me simply because of the brand on the bike, I can still have that warm fuzzy rebel feeling knowing you’re just a brainless bigot.
