On my ride home yesterday I got hit by a grasshopper. His accuracy was uncanny. He managed to weave his way into a 1” window between my fairing, visor, and sunglasses. It got me thinking that maybe he was of the Japanese variety. Or maybe just a distant cousin of the kamikazes.  |

We are coming into love bug season down here. Be happy you don't have them, their guts will eat through the paint if you leave it for a while.  |

Went for a short ride the other day, 43° snow in the ditches but sunny, When I got home I noticed several bugs had committed suicide on my windshield,  They were unrecognizable, buy I figure they were either snow bugs or winter weevils.  Won,t be long now and we can ride all day here!  |

I figure it was just a conservative grasshopper trying to get your attention. So no ethnicity, but a political agenda ? Bugs are definitely advancing I guess. Although it doesn't seem too flattering to know it only takes a grasshopper size brain to be conservative.  |

It’s really not a matter of size anyway, it’s the amount of brain you can access. I’ll leave it to you to decide what I may think of the liberal brains being put on display of late. I know some grasshoppers migrate so l would have to just assume it’s a North American grasshopper. |

To correct to the correction, it should be "grasshopper-sized", with the hyphen.   |

Just pointing out John’s unflattering opinion of “conservatives”. I figure it was just a conservative grasshopper trying to get your attention. So no ethnicity, but a political agenda ?

He may be a cousin of the wasp that found it's way into my modular helmet through a 1/8" opening.
