Wow! That's not fun at all!!
A couple of weekends ago, my brother-in-law and I were riding and deer flies (biting flies) kept getting under his helmet so, for parts of the ride, he rode with it hanging from his handlebars so he could wipe the flies off his head. He and I both sport the same hair style, a Department of Highways hair style. "bare to center bare" (for those who haven't heard the expression before, it relates to winter road reports regarding the snow conditions on the roads).
