I would be willing to bet the bugs would have a different view of the ride... Those are huge insects! Maybe you should check your air cleaner too... Nice ride, though.:thumbup:

What a cool ride. The Lake Livingston area is a great place.

Gotta love the black bugs. I hit a wave of those one time and my whole car was covered, YUCK!

Holy cow that is insane. Check your air cleaner? Heck I would be checking stuff like pants coat helment and throat lol. That is crazy lol the size of those flies. But on a serious note I would check the air cleaner also .

Seriously, she is right - the first one is very artistic looking!

Good point, since these are called "love bugs" and they're currently in mating season. Not exactly the post-coital outcome they were expecting. They mate, then cannot "un-mate," so the female is trying to fly, but dragging the male along (the proverbial 'ball and chain' effect). That means she's flying low and slow, right into the front grills of cars and motorcycles. This happens twice a year here in the south: in the spring and in the fall, and lasts for about 2-3 weeks.

Yea, boy! It took me almost an hour to clean everything up. Any flat surface facing forward was covered with bug guts. Had to loosen the screws on the windscreen to get the bugs that were wedged in there.

No kidding! Had to clean the visor several times during the ride. Helmet looked like a battle zone when I got home, not to mention the lower legs of my riding pants, the shoulders of my jacket, even the backs of the fingers in my gloves. Yuck!
