Note to self...
When it's been raining we all know to ride a bit more cautiously, but I'd forgotten something as I toddled down the road at 35mph with the visor up this evening...
The damn bugs swarm when it's moist!
They don't taste nice!

Re: Note to self...
The rape seed bee splats don't show up as much on a yellow one, either.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

My hoards of special trained "custard bugs" will soon turn all bikes to the holy yellow.
Muwahahahahaha!

Re: Note to self...
isnt that an oxymoron? A yellow one getting a shift on? Did you mean to type "A yellow one is a shite one"?

Yellow shite normal in your part of the world, Kev?
I'd see the doctor sharpish, mate.

I walked in from a ride tonight to find the Mrs watching that embarrasing bodies live programme. There was a woman on there describing how it took her an hour and a half to curl out a 9" long turd with a girth of 7.5"!
Who says quality TV programming is dead. There was also some yellow turds and quite a lot of red (
)
Not pleasant.
The ride, however was about perfect. Beautiful evening and cool enough to be comfortable in leathers. Love it.

Re: Note to self...
The only bugs that bug me are the buzzing stinging ones when they get caught inside your lid. It brings back memories of a film I watched (can't remember name) where the bug crawled inside the ear passage and grew inside the human host body.
And not only that it's distracting and dangerous.

Re: Note to self...
What a lovely conversation!
I can relate to the stripy things inside your lid though. Had one of them as 70mph+ once. I have never stopped so fast in my life.
Only to find it wasn't actually a wasp, just one of those fake flies.
Damn hard to tell when it's sitting on your cheek just under your eye!
