I have the Shoei Busa hlemet to match my bike...And of course I only use it to represent to the fullest...Well anyway I store it in my shed...Had it in the box and the cloth helmet protector...Pulled it out one day to ride...It had been rather cold...We rode out about 30 miles stopped at a store and decided to return to the house...As we were pulling off I felt something biting my head...I stopped on the lot and saw several of the big black ants inside...Got off the bike and got those out...Thought that they had gotten in the helmet from the location I had placed the helmet while we stopped...Well the more I shook the helmet the more the ants fell out...I had to go in the store and use and insect killer...The ants had set up a colony in my helmet...I ended up soaking the helmet in insect spray and sealing it is an air tight plastic bag...And I'll store all my helmets in the house from now on...

When I had my first dirt bike I used a open face helmet. One day riding down my dirt road I had a bee fly into my left ear pocket. I stopped the bike and pulled off my helmet as fast as I could and didn't get stung. I don't think I even released the chin strap. Other than that I have just had some nasty stuff cover the visor like big bugs that just about cover the whole lens.
That ant thing would definitely suck. I think Stunnah wins for the worst helmet experience.Well I learned a lesson...With my incident...

Faski, You allergic?
One day at 120 mph I began to notice something climbing up the inside of my shield .... WASP! Some how got the busa stopped and helmet off in about 10 sec without being stung. Whew!
2 other times however bee hit my jacket in the chest at maybe 60 mph, stunned but fell to my thigh and stung me before falling off.

I have been hit with a stone that would have went through my head, if I did not have the helmet on. The helmet was cracked.
The strangest was stopping at a stop sign years ago. I hit a swarm of bees. One bee went in my helmet and stung me in the ear, another stung me in the balls. Ouch man that hurt. Good thing that I am not allergic to bee stings.
