ever riden into a swarm of bees?

Post by benjammer112 »

well, i have. It happened yesterday, i was coming down a hill on a gravel road and all the sudden i saw a huge cloud of bees. I couldn't tell what they were at first but it felt like somebody was throwing gravel at me, but i was wearing a t-shirt, no helmet, and shorts! but i did not get a single sting, one was dead on my shirt with its stinger hanging out. you should have seen the goose bumps that gave me... i get them just thinking about it
i ride so fast that my scooter flies into the sky and i rain chocolate on the little children.

Oh, I know where that is but when I raced there back in the early 1970's it was a bare bones drag strip in the desert.

I did the bee thing about 20 years ago. Got stung about 20 times and being allergic I got a dose of epi and an ambulance ride to the hospital. I'm smart enough now to have my own epi-pen with me.
