    Zika

    You riders way down south keep on the lookout for mosquitos. Now those blood suckers are possibly transferring the Zika virus. That sucks! Plaster on the bug spray. I'll be wearing the stuff when I travel in the deep south. We have tons of skeeters up north, but so far, too cold for them to bring the virus up here.

    Just another BS story to scare the sheepeople in my opinion... we have had stuff like that for years !!! One or two cases a year down here, after zillions of skeeter bites...

    Health officials have confirmed that the Zika virus is now in America and can be transmitted through sexual contact.

    Does all this mean I should get a taller windscreen just so I will kill more mosquitoes when I ride?
    The stock seat pretty much took care of the other means of transmission.
