While I've not had "The Pleasure" . . . over the years my supposedly smart Border Collie still can't figure this one out. So I periodically have to apply the following formula. I've not found anything else that works, even remotely, but this solution actually get's rid of 99.99% of the smell every time.

I would assume that it'd work on a bike as well. BUT, remember that Hydrogen Peroxide is how many ladies get that "Natural" Bottle Blond look. So if there is anything on the bike that might get lightened in color . . . this will probably do it ever so slightly. Not sure what effect it'd have on leather.

Recipe for De-Skunk smelling the Dog:

QTY ITEM .
1 Quart Hydrogen Peroxide 3%
1/2 Cup Baking Soda
2 Tablespoons Dish Detergent

1.) Mix the above
2.) Soak the dog thoroughly and let stand 10 Minutes
3.) Rinse

CAUTION: DO NOT GET IN EYES

 

Ok everybody wants to know what chick you know who has such a smelly cooter that you thought of "douche water" when you got sprayed by a skunk.... just sayin

 

i wasnt sprayed while riding but i did get sprayed right before riding haha i thought at first i had been missed until i heard people talking about the skunk smell, o well just glad it didnt get on the bike!

 

I hit one a long time back on an old metric I owned. Me and a buddy went for a beer run. On the way back, he yells SKUNK from his bike. He missed, I hit. Didnt get on me but sure made the bike smell real bad.

 

Not while riding but when I was a kid I had taken the trash out to our burn barrel and lit it up.
About 5 seconds later this really pissed off skunk jumps out of the barrel and onto the rim of it, sprayed me right in the chest from less than 5 feet away.
I took off my shirt and threw it in too..........didn't figure it was worth trying to save.
Took a week of tomato and vinegar baths to get rid of the smell.

 

Lucky so far, never by a skunk, but sprayed by a woodchuck. That is.........mostly the bloody entrails all over the side of my bike (and my boot) after the front wheel got him. Had to stop at a DIY car wash before it got baked on.

 

If it's only 2...(could be more..I sure learned there can be more than you think)...you can shop online for a hav-a-heart trap. Bait it with some jelly...like blueberry or strawberry. Once you catch it...you may have local laws stating what you can do with them (usually very limited)...toss a big (old) bed sheet or something over the trap to blind and calm the thing. Also blocks the spray is it decides to. Release far far away. I towed the thing in a utility trailer I had. Release them very far away...they can travel a couple of miles and easily find their way back home to you in a day or two.

Once you think you've caught and trapped the last one....stuff some loose things in the hole they've dug to get under the foundation. Just loosely stuff it..leaves, tall grass, a few twigs, etc. If one is still going in and out at night..that hole will be cleared. If it doesn't appear used anymore..fill it in very well and pack it good.

 

LMFAO! Well...there was one. Hey..we've all gone "hoggin" at least once!

 

Not me not never.... well.....there was one time.....

 

Thankfuly, not yet....
