I literally cannot avoid these little bastards....

Everyday I'm covered in them! What is this, mass bug depression?

Having the fairing on the FZ6 does help a lot, the extent of the fly damage is limited to the central area of my helmet and visor. I hate having dirty stuff so clean all my stuff every night, even though it'll be in the same state within a few minutes of riding again!

My helmet looks similar as of late, stupid little bastards, pain in the ass to clean off, too.

A bird took a seriously slimy shit on my visor the other day. Would've preferred the greenfly TBH.

The shoulders of my Wolf leathers had a 'speckled' effect on them, so you couldnt tell if they were clean or not. Good for if you were feeling lazy about cleaning your jacket, bad cos everyone assumed they were covered in flys anyway! Laughing

I haven't found the bugs too bad at the moment, but I just put a little bit of washing up liquid on to a wet sponge, give the visor a wipe then about a minute later wipe it again and it cleans everything off without much hassle.

Come down to London, you'll appreciate all the smog and pollution clearing the air of bugs. Smile

Hasn't been that bad around here as rather than lots of small ones, I've been collecting fat juicy ones. A big, greasy bastard had his head forced through his ass this morning, left a brown smear when I tried to flick it.

When I walk into work I look disgusting. Dead flies coat my suit and helmet!

Everyday I'm cleaning the little scrotes off me. My bike, well, has a new paint scheme. It used to be blue Laughing

I think the poor thing needs a wash
