Out on a blast this afternoon (my 3rd blast ever) a butterfly thought it would be funny to land in my eye at 50 MPH. Then he thought it'd be even funnier to try and work his way around the side of my face and make a home in the side of my lid.

Glad you're ok. You seem to be having a few troubles since you got this new cruiser!

nah, that's alright - it was from a while ago, before this bike. 6000 miles in 4 months. Wonder what my end of year total will be?

Sorry Den, too early in the morning for me. Thought this was Carls post. Glad you're ok too. Heard of being up with the Larks but Rooks, they're nothing to Crow about.
