You know what I hate?

Bugs.
Nothing shits me more on my ride through the countryside than the gentle
pitter-patter of insects on my visor.
How do you cope with it? Any tips?

 

Get over it .. that usually helps..

Replace your headlight globe with one of those bug-zapper filaments!

I always thought you could pick a happy biker by the bugs between his teeth.

Ride behind one of them fuckwits on a harley with ApeHangers, nothing
gets past them, but the stench from the armpits, and the slow speed
gets fuckin annoying after around 10feet.

 

two options. Windex or 'mr sheen', comined with a not-too-dirty rag.
Neither will stop the pitter patter noise ~

 

* tuck behind the fairing ala racing style
* shove some earphones in your helmet and listen to the music
* wear ear plugs
* get industrial deafness - guarantee all you'll hear then is a constant
ringing
* slow down and go slower
* buy a noiser helmet
* build a bridge ... and get over it

Try it in a swarm of locusts, they hit every exposed part of your body,
and at 100 Km/h actually hurt if they hit fingers even through gloves. I
was picking bits of desiccated locust out of the bike for months after
that trip

Ever tried earplugs?

You got locusts so big you're buying them clothing?!!?

 

Remount your headlight 1 metre to the left of you.
That'll fool the bugs and then you'll hear the pitter patter of cages
bouncing off you.

 

Spray mortein on the outside of the visor
they hate the stuff.

 

I tried this and couldn't see where I was going!
I reckon the plastic visor worked better even if it was
a bit noisy ...

Geez, make something idiot proof and along comes a higher class of
idiot... ; )
