About 2 years ago, I was riding my bike down the interstate, doing a bit over 70... When I hit a Praying Mantis... Or should I say, it hit me, directly in the middle of my chest. Thankfully, I didn't loose control, although I couldn't breath... I had to pull over and lay on the side of the road for a bit... I then got me a windshield. I don't care how big and bad you are... you get hit by anything larger than a lady bug, you _will_ know it! I sold my bike last year and am now thinking that was a "Very" bad idea...
