[Ducati] bee in the bonnet (is my helmet still okay after a small mishap?)

[Alec Moss]

On a cross country trip on my 70 Bonnie, got a bee in my helmet, quickly
pulled over and parked the bike on a slight downhill.  As I was frantically
pulling off my helmet the bike started rolling forward and off the stand.
Crap!  Helmet - bike - helmet - bike.  I ended up getting stung just below
my ear AND the bike fell down.  Bummer.  Luckily just a slightly bent
handlebar and scraped clutch lever.  And a sore neck for the next few hours.
Still a good trip, though!
