Always Wear Protection

I hope you had a great Labor Day weekend. I got to spend some time with friends and family and doing one of my favorite hobbies: riding my motorcycle through the Black Hills. Even though the weather was gorgeous and practically perfect for riding on Sunday, I didn’t have a very enjoyable ride. Usually the worst thing that happens is that I get stuck behind a group of tourists that don’t know how to drive at a decent speed through the hills. This did happen, but it wasn’t what ruined my ride.

I don’t know what it was, but it was like every single bug decided to be in my path. Here’s a picture I took after I got blinded by bug guts:

It wasn’t just my glasses that got nailed, so did my nose, ears, lips, throat, pretty much my whole head. I’m pretty sure I decreased the bug population in the Hills by 50%…so as I titled this post, make sure that you always wear eye protection if you’re riding…
