Dragonflies at 75mph hitting you in the chest like base balls. FULL face helmets and Leather Vests are your first level of defense. Then you need a faring an ride like the wind!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had a June Bug hit my face shield right between my eyes. BLECH!!!! yeah, it was gross and I had to stop and clean it off, but I could not even imagine how it would have been had I NOT had that face shield. (I think I may barf just thinking about that......) hehehe

My leg hit a bird at 65 mph, and even through the Aerostich and a pair of jeans that flippen hurt!

I will have to have my wife email me the pic of this fly I saw on my truck a couple weeks ago. This thing was huge. If I hit that while driving 65-70, wow, I think it would feel like getting hit by Randy Johnson throwing a softball at me.
