Fly's

[LorryDriver71]

It's not just me is it who has a huge fly problem? Everytime I go out I come back with the front of my bike, helmet and sometimes shoulders absolutly covered in them.

Anyone else find them difficult to clean off?

You're meant to clean them off?

They're good. They add texture.

[tgabber]

And if you open your visor, some of them can be very tasty...

use a damp cloth as soon as you get home

if you use clean fresh water it makes good soup

TOP TIP!: just take a piece of bread with you on a ride, wipe them off with it, fold, there you go a nutrition filled snack

on a slightly more helpfull note i hope..

Useing a damp cloth leave it on the visor for a few minutes, they will come off easily..

Alternatively get hold of some "free view" this is the stuff i use, its excelent stuff, you will need a cloth to dry it off but its works great, its amazeing how much insect innards can obscure your view

Yeah they may be tasty but a bastard if they go in your eye...

Get a pack of baby wipes, they clean them off very easily.

[Claud 14.7 to 1]

Cloth with some washing up liquid on it, very usefull if they are old and "crusted" on. Then wash off with clean water...

[WildGoose]

yes they are most annoying, biggest thing is not to smudge them when they splat on your visor, its so tempting to try and wipe them off, but 99% of the time it just makes a huge nasty smear

the looks i get off people as im wiping my helmet along the grass half way up the bank of the A3

It's when the buggers get in under the visor & in your ears! You hear the thing buzzing as you go along and when you get off and try and dig it out it always comes out in bits! Yuk!

Does anyone else have the picture of Jim Carrey on his bike in "Me, Myself & Irene" in their head right now?
The one where he's smiling and his teeth covered in squished flies.
