While riding my HKO this AM I hit a wasp and it stung my upper lip.
Long story short, lip swelled to 3 times my regular size. Took 3 Benadryl and used some ice on the lip. After the nap,:28:... lip is coming down nicely.
Moral of the story, probably need to wear a face shield instead of a open helmet. Just thought I would share a NOW funny Minitrail riding story.:eek:

PS. Bike is fine tho, never did wipe out.:40:

lol. i had a funny story too.
i was working on my 2 xr100r's and well i had the 1986 close to starting but it had the seat off and had just filled the tank. idk how but i didn't notice gas had spilled and pooled below the tank in the frame and when i tipped it on its side to check the airbox ect. some had went into the aibox and the surronding areas. the thing about these is the boot is longish so the gas didnt fully enter the carb..... i went to kick it. boom! i had my own fireworks under my butt the engine backfired through the carb lit the ramaining residue ect. and my butt had 4 foot flames under it AAHHH! i jumped up fell down looked over and as comedy has it the only thing near was lemonaid lol i didnt think and threw it on the flames died... a very small bit and grew..... i ran up to the garage and got an extinquisher. there was no real damage luckily to the outside... the gaskets ect are prob toast. morale.... yeah sure it makes you feel better to say it wil start and run with just a carb cleaning:drum:.. but your pants are on fire.

Luckily it was your lip and not your eye,WOW.My ex wife was allergic to wasp stings,when she would get stung her whole face would swell up.This reminds me when i was younger i was riding my dirt bike through the woods and as i came around the corner of a trail i ran right into a giant spider web that was across the trail.When i got stopped there was a spider about 4 in. in diameter on my helmet right above my left eye.Luckily i was able to slowly remove my helmet without getting bit/stung but it scared the HELL out of me.
