That's a good idea. You will then be here for the September invasion.

I found that the full face shield keeps them out of your mouth when you hit a swarm.

Full face shield? I am a REAL Biker! Got to have them in your teeth!:clap2:

When I rode in Florida back in the 60-70s you had to wear a helmet. On the highway, I liked to wear the shield to avoid getting hit in the eye by a wayward dragonfly. A dragonfly to the chest at 60 mph was bad enough.

But I do agree - How do you tell a happy biker? By the number of love bugs in his teeth!

I wear a turtle shell helmet and sunglasses.

Love bugs
 

Using a good coat of wax will serve the same purpose as WD 40 and I think its better for the car.

Ewww. I'm glad I'm just a happy camper.:D

WD 40 does not hurt the paint on your car. I spray it on the whole front after I wash it. I wipe it off and leave a thin coat.

PTurner, that is why we Bikers make sure we use a good brand of toothpaste and floss!:smiley:

Would something like tree sap remover be a solution the removal of love bugs?

September Love Bugs
 

Any sign of the September Love Bugs yet? Will be arriving in The Villages on the 9th and wondering if they have been spotted yet??

Haven't seen any yet. The spring invasion around here was minimal, at least where I live.

They are little buggers, that's for sure!

I have always used fabric softener sheets too. Just get the sheet wet and the bugs wipe off.

A friend's daughter used to call them two headed bugs.

Are these primarly local to the Villages or the whole Ocala area?

Thanks vj, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe I'll spray on WD-40 and wipe off with fabric softener sheets for a double dose of clean. :loco:
