what sort of brillo pads and vim are you using mate, last time i used that method I had no paint left, let alone bugs stuck to it.:lol::lol:

Thanks Shazaam! I was beginning to think that the only alternative to ignoring the problem was to douse my bike in fizzy pop or to buy an SB8!

wait till the bugs dry out and just push them through the grills. let the air filter or engine sort them out later on :D

BOUNTY !!!

not the chocolate bar, but the kitchen roll,

ACE !!!

Soak in warm water for few seconds, spread over affected area, have a cup of tea, return to bike, remove "bounty" with a sideways motion, hey presto, no bugs, works on anything, hemets, screens, paintwork, non abrasive and cheap as a cheap thing on sale day.

CLING FILM

Apply to frontal area of bike before going out, come home, remove cling film, bugs are gone.......

Trust me, it works ............:eureka:

Cheap biological washing powder. make a wet paste, apply, leave for 5-10 mins then wash off.

Dissolves the buggers.

Works wonders for car bumpers as well, but you should really apply polish afterwards.

Or, do as most do, and ditch the mesh :)
