[The following is sad but true.]

Addendum to Nguyen's Corollary to Murphy's Law as applied to
Motorcycling:   kamikaze insects will kill themselves such that
they obscure your vision the most.

Or in more poetic terms,   IF you find yourself peeling off into the
perfect cloverleaf, increasing radius and nicely banked, no traffic
within a 6000 feet radius, 75 mph and body parts, motorcycle's and
yours, skimming the ground,   THEN your view of the apex will be
blocked by a cluster of splattered insects, in perfect cloverleaf
formation.

Seriously now, hasn't anybody found a way to shape the aerodynamics
of a helmet such that bugs go around it in the air flow instead of
killing themselves all over the face shield?
