    Did a 100 K ride yesterday .... ending around about dusk.

     

    The bugs were STUPID !

    JUST made it home, before I 'called quits' on being able to see through my visor. ( Could not have coped with a half face; earlier in the ride I had the visor UP .... bugs were in my ears and nose ! )

    Spoke with a fellow rider today; he told me about a set of gloves that had a rubber strip, to de-bug visors.

    How do the more experienced riders cope  ?

    Tips appreciated ( aside from HARDEN THE FUCK UP )

    I was impressed with the Harley brand bug cleaner and sponge after my after trip. Plan to work on the frame and perhaps the engine area (some odds and sods bug guts) with some WD40. Mr Sheen was always good on my other bikes; I still use it on my helmet and visor. Warm soapy water and light sponge for jacket and gloves.

    Well, one suggestion is if you don't like bugs stay the fuck away from Queensland!! I've tried everything, Mr Sheen, polish, all sorts of stuff and in reality nothing works really well. I wear an open face helmet and if we ride out towards the west I wear a face mask. I also wear prescription sunnies so carry a cloth and cleaner in my downtube bag. It really doesn't matter how much polish or shit you've got on your bike they still splatter and stick. The more polish etc the easier they are to get off though. I know you didn't want to hear the old drink a cup of concrete joke but really, it is quite true because bugs are just a part of motorcycling, as is going past a cattle crate when a cow pisses straight out the side just as you are riding past.

    No need to carry anything. Pull in to a servo to fuel up, grab a big handful of paper towelling and soak it under the tap. Use it to scrub bug debris off whatever you want to clean. Then use a handfull of dry paper towelling to wipe it dry. Perfect result. No fuss, no chemicals, no carrying anything extra.

    Not sure if they will fit ya lid though.

    Although I should be less helpfull and reply to you as you did to me when I asked opinions on types of helmet locks.

    Just buy a cheap shit helmet and relax /don't f**king WORRY ! 

    ( 30 bucks from Aldi ? )

    Just eat the bugs, relax / dont f**king WORRY !

    I was driving South from Port Headland a few years back in a car and spotted a small black cloud floating just above the horizon. Something didn't look right so I quickly rolled my window up (XD Falcon no air con) and the next minute the windscreen was splattered with big black hornets and one of the fuckers had got in.
    I nearly drove off the road while trying to hit the cunt with a newspaper.
