peroxide works great for gettting them off. spray it on, let sit for a minute, then wipe off......
don't they just smell great cooking on the engine as you're running down the road? yuck!!!!

I think the pressure washer is the thang to jet them off.

Man, looks like a good day to be riding a fairing bike, that's for sure!

Had a mass of them on mine yesterday.
This morning used a sheepskin wash mitt, lots of water and Palmolive dish soap (yea, it's not great on wax) and they all came off quickly with no damage.
After cleaning the m/c, hit it with another coat of wax.

Same thing, peroxide. Just gargle with it.
