Revlis.. some of your friends missed you...

[LadyHawk]

and hit me..

But I took care of them for you. I know you miss them, and I wanted to share with you.  

And if any of you have NOT been blessed to live in a state with Lovebugs.. they suck. They are attracted to hot asphalt and seem to just hang out, waiting for someone to drive though and take them out. They can cover your bike/car/ in no time flat on a good hot day. They smell when splattered on your helmet, and god forbid ya get any parts sucked into your air vents! Ugh!!

They fly around mated, and attached .. that's why they are called love bugs.




And if you don't wash them off the guts eat the paint off your vehicle. It can leave divets in the paint, my car 's bumper is full of lovebug divets.

Oh, and Rev, you're welcome.

Whoever the Friggin rocket scientist was that introduced the love bugs to Florida needs to have his A$$$$ kicked.  Has anyone EVER seen a love bug eat a mosquito??  How the heck could they even catch one,  they can't even fly right.

EDIT:

I just bought those bug and tar wipes, they work really well.

[pure_ego]

"Harder baby, harder, harder!!.... *SPLAT*... TOO HARD!!"

 

[shenoyp]

[BusaAdmirer]

your bike needs a cleanin and quite fast too..

 

[Let 'er eat!]

Yep, if it weren't for hurricanes and love bugs we wouldn't have anything to complain about

 

[LadyHawk]

your bike needs a cleanin and quite fast too..

already got 'er done.

Soon as I get home I soak a towel in hot water and drape it over the front end. About 10 mins of soaking and you can just wipe them off.

He's already clean and ready for the next ride!

 

[LadyHawk]

Yep, if it weren't for hurricanes and love bugs we wouldn't have anything to complain about

and palmeto bugs, and humidity, and retired folks, and white-hair drivers, and snowbirds.. and...

Oh I'm rambling, sorry.

Now I see why he moved to Seattle!

When are the rest of you FL riders doing the same?! Good grief...gives a whole new meaning to "road kill"

 

[Bdygrd4u]

Thank god we don't have those in New England!

[bronc3]

Headin for NC soon, I hope. This place is just getting worse.

 

[TruWrecks]

Yeah, Seattle doesn't have Love Bugs, but we do have June Bugs. They really stink when they splatter, and they made a bigger mess! They're A.K.A 'Stink Bugs".

 

[Revlis]

I appreciate it TKM, I really do. NO I do not miss them bastards... I miss a lot of the peoples down there but not Florida...

We are trying to get settled into the new place, and having some minor success. The wife had another exam on Friday so she is busy recovering and I just finished up some more SOCOM work so i am a bit frazzled as well. She is glad to not have to study for awhile, I am glad to be only working one job...

SO yeah, I put a couple thousand miles on the bike THEN consider cleaning off the few bugs I have collected.

Oh and VA, that Avatar rocks...

Hope everyone is doing good...

 

[HeliBusa]

Well from the bug's perspective, what a way to go........


There are probably a few jealous pilots out there....
