Beale.
Was SF for five years there.
I've been a civilian on a space command site at Beale for eleven years now.

My niece gave me that sticker to put on my motorcycle but it's coming off in the bug-hail. I want to find a nice tough vinyl one for the bike that's going to last.
 
I been/was SF for 13 years now but I am growing a goatee and enjoying civilian life for a year or so!!! I was out at Vandenberg for bout 4 years
 
Man those bugs are crazy! here in Colorado its too dry for bugs. they dont get bad at all
 
Me and my buddy went on a ride and he wears a half dome. My visor was covered when we got to the resturaunt and his beard doubled in size..it was gross. Just thinking about how many bugs it took to make it grow that big.
 
I barfed in my mouth a little when I saw a coworkers facial bug collection one day.

Fork that ****.
 
Can someone tell me how to add a photo here from my droid x. I have a ridiculous bug pic of my helmet but im an idiot when it comes to technology.
 
yup, i was just thinking the same thing to myself last night when i got home. front of my daytona675 just looked lik i drove cross country...but it was my usual 25 minute commute home. its funny how one day to the next this **** happens....and the heat...lets not even go there. i love summer but i hate summer.

what i love is when a bug gets sucked into the helmet itself....and bounces around like a ricochet, or flying around in my face. dont get me wrong, i love having the helmet between the impact of the bugs and my skull, but i hate it when they get inside there.
 
Yeah I just had one of those little green gnats get into my helmet and my ear. Of course I have armored gloves on and I'm going 70 mph, so I was on the highway shaking my head like a schizophrenic person taking questions from his own personalities.
I finally got to an exit and ripped a glove off to handle the situation, but the tense moments before I could get to it were harrowing.

You think that itch on your nose is rugged while you're riding, you should have a wee critter crawl into your ear canal.


I know what Checkov felt like when Khan put that bug in his ear.
 
what i love is when my visor is covered, and i know I shouldnt wipe it with my glove, but i do anyways and they its just a smeared blur of guts across my shield and there goes my visibility. Gotta love bug season, but im not going to complain, any day where there is no rain im happy. Beggers cant be choosers.
 
The best thing is after a long ride and your visor is covered in dead bugs to pull up at a stop light next to someone and just stare at them thru their window. Dont laugh, dont make any faces, dont do anything but stare, even when they look away keep staring. One of my favorite games to play with cagers when im riding.
 
Its better when they can see your slate blank face. Way too easy with a smoke or mirrored visor. I got this little asian chick so uncomfortable the other day she looked constipated, I almost lost it and started laughing.

I just kept thinking "Self control...self control...self control"
 
hahaha! priceless. You have to get a bike on both sides of her car and do that. They would freak hahaha.
 
Thats hysterical! I know people that this would seriously disturb. I just may use this tactic.
:D
 
Hahaha... I do something similar in my car.

Ever notice if you are the first car at a light some people will stop short or roll a little past you so they dont have to make eye contact with a stranger. Thats when I reverse it or pull forward reaaaal slow and stare at them. Stare like they are a turkey dinner and I just got outa prison. Mmmmmmm.... creeeeepy. Most people wont look, but you can see them squirm.

The other thing that is fun to do is something I call a "short quick face". This is a defense against creepy people staring at you in a restaurant, public place or maybe me in the car beside you ;). When you feel someones eyes burning into you from across the room you quickly and deliberately turn toward them make eye contact and then make the most disturbing face you can. (stick out tongue, cross eyes, squish your lips, wrinkle forehead, whatever you can do) Then quickly turn away and continue what you were doing and never look back. If in a restaurant dropping your silverware on the table when you turn adds to the effect, Maybe throw in a grunting sound too. The key is not to laugh and play it cool like nothing ever happened.

Again.. revel in the glory of making them uncomfortable.

edit: my apologies if this is considered a threadjacking :p
