yer may well have seen this before, but I thought it was funny:

After nattering to Austin about wearing summery clothes on a bike, I found
this story on UKBEG...

:

I came across this in a bike mag recently, although I think it started in an
Aircraft industry weekly paper. Thought I'd post it here for you all.

OF - something else to check for in future.

Motorcyclist Moses Rickleberger underwent emergency treatment in the East
Florida Baptist Hospital for an injury to his private parts on the final day
of the Daytona Bike Week. Lawyers for American National Airways are at
present awaiting Mr Rickleberger's discharge to issue a writ for $30 million
while Miss Amy Listroper is leading a class action on behalf of passengers.

In the spirit of the Daytona Bike Week, Mr Rickleberger was riding his Buell
motorcycle along Interstate 4 dressed only in a T shirt, baggy shorts and a
bandana. As he was approaching the Deland Airport exit, an insect, later
identified as a European Hornet, flew up the leg of his shorts and stung his
left testicle.

Mr Rickleberger reportedly tried to smack the insect in an effort to kill it
but succeeded only in injuring himself further. Mr Rickleberger apparently
snatched open the throttle of the motorcycle as he reared back in pain. He
then veered off the highway, descended into a drainage ditch and was
launched over the perimeter fence and on to the wing of an American National
Airways Fokker taxing on the runway on a scheduled flight to Miami. The bike
landed on the right wing and embedded itself in the cabin, causing the pilot
to abort the flight and order an emergency evacuation of the plane.

Mr Rickleberger had divested himself of his shorts and was rolling around on
the runway holding his crotch and screaming obsenities. Miss Litsroper said
"We were all terrified that we were being attacked by a mad biker trying to
hijack the plane. It was completely terrifying. He was a very big man."

Despite the fact that the $29 milion turbo-prop aircraft was written off in
the incident, black civil rights campaigners describe the American National
Airways' intended lawsuit as "excessive and a clear case of institutional
and blatant race discrimination."

"The breezy call of incense-breathing Morn, The swallow twittering
from the strawbuilt shed, The cock's shrill clarion, or the echoing
horn, No more shall rouse them from their lowly bed."
