Ride it in an enclosed trailer with a plexiglass front window in the trailer and have someone pull you.

Love bugs, bull knats, dragon flies are horrible this time of year. Really not much you can do OP but grin and bear it.

And we have a winner! I got a kick out of the serious replies to a impossible question.

I get hammered by bugs riding at night, they home in on all the bright lights. I found that a gentle weave from side to side in my lane decreases bug impacts in a tremendous way.They just must not have the time to line up with the light.

It attracts a different kind of pest though, the kind with red and blue lights. One officer who pulled me over after hearing my explanation of why I was weaving asked if it really worked as he rides the same stretch we were on.
