Yesterday I was riding in Delaware on a country road and a large bug hit me on the cheek, the wind was keeping it against my face and I could feel it buzzing. I brushed it off my face with my glove, next thing I knew I was feeling a stinging on my chest. I knew it was a bee at this point and thought that it went down in my shirt. I was grabbing at my shirt to get hold of it and looked down and saw that it was in my glove, so I just threw it off. I was a darn hornet, and I thought bee's could only sting once. Well this sucker let me have it multiple times. I had about 60 miles to go before getting home, then put an ice bag on it. Still swollen this morning.

 

I've been noticing a lot of love bugs around lately. I thought the season was over but, man, those things "paired" up make for one painful bug.

 

I haven't tried it on my bike yet but for love bugs and all the others down here in Fl People spray Pam on their bumpers head lights and grill
Dam love bug'guts will eat the paint if you leave it on

 

Leaving Pam on it won't do anything?

 

I always enjoy hitting the big bug "clouds". Within a few seconds, you're covered with them. But...those single bees, beetles, etc. are the one's I dread - they're big and they hit you real hard. I've always had shields on my helmets and I'm glad I do when I hear those bad boys bounce off the plastic.

I don't know if anyone has tried it, but the Harley shop gave a me a sample kit of cleaning products and in it was a bug cleaner. This stuff works better than anything I've ever tried. The bugs can be dry and it takes them off like acid. You just spray this stuff on a rag and wipe them right off. I'd love to know who makes it for them so I don't have to pay the big mark-up.

 

Bigbender,
I have used the HD bug cleaner and I agree. Great stuff! I was amazed at how easy the bugs came off.
