You run into a swarm and it's like riding through a dense, black snowstorm.

I'm afraid I don't qualify as one of those "younger Harley types" either. I knew they and the older ones would know what sex was, it's the "copulation" that might throw some. At any rate, I figured that smart-*** remark would get a comment. As a child of the 60's and now in my 60's, it's definately use it or lose it.

You can spray the front of the bike with wd-40... they wont stick.

Hydrogen Peroxide takes em off without harming the paint. Yep they are nasty and smelly
