Critters Messing with your bike?

I was just reading a blog by macvicar
Where chipmunks were giving him fits But I'll leave that one to him to tell:thumbup:
Is any one else had trouble with critters building nests and such
Here in Alabama we have mud dabbers, which is a wasp looking bug that kills spiders and then fills any small bolt hole or carburetter hole with the spiders then lays eggs on them [the spiders are not dead] and cover the hole with mud.

I had a mouse nest in the air box this year not thrilled little buggers started to eat the air filter... the silver lining is got to do the K&N mod!

Do you have to oil the K&N if so that mite tasted bad so they'd leave it alone?

i plug my scorps with rags during the winter. I've heard of others doing the same with the opening on the airbox.

Had a wasp hive in the fairing, when I pulled it off the first time.. luckily it was empty.

I wondered who that was on the back of your bike.
I thought he was a happy motor cycle rider,you know bugs in teeth and all,
BUT I think the green teeth just come natural

I just replaced the stock filter with the K&N filter will report back if they get in there again...

Just yellowjackets. I always seem to have a few smooshed against the front of my bike, pants, shoulders and helmet. According to someone on this board, from about four years ago, swarming insects release some kind of pheromone when they're smooshed, a defense mechanism for the swarm, and live ones sure get excited when they smell that.

My 1971 Rustang, on the other hand... finally sold it to a junkyard and I opened the trunk to retrieve my jumper cables, and momma squirrel, the baby squirrels, and Botch all had to change their underwear after that introduction.

I've had squirrels eat the seat of my snowmobile before. Now everything is stored indoors:thumbup:
