Try Terro liquid ant bait. It works on almost any ants except fire ants.
I had a gazillion ants in my house. It took about 2 weeks to kill them all
but it works. Spraying only causes ants and termites to enter a survival
mode which causes them to reproduce at a very high rate. The ants carry
Terro back to their nest where they share it with the colony. Available at
Lowes and Home Depot.

Cool

Every evening when I pull into the drive way and the bike is at idle while I open the gate, I have ants running crazy all around the bike. I think it's the vibration freaking them out. I just pull the bike in the fence, and then blast the little suckers until the next time.

Get some Side walk chalk and draw a circle around your bike. Ants wont cross a chalk line for some reason. Also works really well around your trash cans if they get in there.

Ants communicate via vibration & chemical reaction therefore your vtwin is like Godzilla pulling in the drive. Same reaction as all them 4 foot tall Japanese MF's running around screaming in the movie.

When you get up to 60 mph, they should start falling off
