HeathersWheels Posted April 29, 2008 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2008 I kept catching these big juicy ones on my faceshield. Each time I look over at Steve, riding without faceshield, I expect to see bug all over him. I dont see how he escapes this. I get pummeled each time we ride. My faceshield looks like a crime scene. Now Steve is laughing at me cause according to him... he's a chick magnet and I'm a bug magnet... whatev. At least I had my faceshield when I needed it. All in all we had a great little ride. We spent about an hour or so looping through the countryside. I just dont see how anyone can ride with out a faceshield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipshot Posted April 29, 2008 Share #2 Posted April 29, 2008 heather. i wholeheartedly agree, with you! this is the height of "love bug " season, down here. you can't even walk around outdoors, without getting covered up. don't even think about driving 100 miles.you won't make it without stopping at least twice to clean your windshield. just jt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibvel Posted April 29, 2008 Share #3 Posted April 29, 2008 Must be a question of airflow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted April 30, 2008 Share #4 Posted April 30, 2008 Long before I had a bike with a windshield on it, you know back when I was cool I was stationed down in Mayport Florida, and got hit by quite a few of the "June Bugs" actually had one break my faceshield in half on a full faced helmet...so I too know bug guts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redneck Posted April 30, 2008 Share #6 Posted April 30, 2008 Heather it obvious that bugs would much rather die a beautiful death than an ugly one so they dodge steve and hit you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeathersWheels Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share #7 Posted April 30, 2008 Must be a question of airflow. You might be on to something here. It just might be airflow. I ride in the sidecar so I have a completely different shield. hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
