Never before have i whitnessed such death and carnage right before my very eyes...
Yesterday as many know and probably took advantage of was a great day for biking. The years first properly hot day... Sun was out air was warm blue skys...
So I rode up to home from where im currently staying in Norwich, taking the Drayton road all the way to the b1145 then that road to home...
It was great going up no problems whatsoever, had a great day at home, had a nice roast dinner with dad and brother... Even managed to test my speedo on my bike and discovered the RPM filter I designed didnt work and needs rethinking...
Then It was getting on, sun was going down, it was evening and I had to ride back to Norwich...
Riding down, splat! oh hit a bug, oh well it was just one... splat! oh another... hmm thats left a bit of a mess, must clean it off when i get back... splat! hmmm ok... splat splat splat splat splat splat splat splat splat............... It was raining bugs... mostly mossys. By the time I got back a 40 minute ride... My visor was covered...
It was like something out of the gumball rally with that bikers face covered in dead bugs... Though in my case i had a visor down :p
Im sure many people have had the same thing happen with them. But this was my first bug attack. ____________________ Yamaha FZ8/Fazer800 (split headlight one) 2014, gingerly getting used to the massive increase in HP and not killing myself in the process! That was easy to get used to.

LOL yes.... trouble is one of those wind wiper things would just smear the bugs all over the visor, ill be blind and then crash and die D:
I was thinking something more advanced.... like a deflector dish.... Yes like the ones in startrek but instead of pushing hazards away from the ship... this one pushes the bugs away :p ____________________ Yamaha FZ8/Fazer800 (split headlight one) 2014, gingerly getting used to the massive increase in HP and not killing myself in the process!

Taking a ride around the TT course at the wrong time 9f day and year and you end up looking like you've been paintballing.
