When it rains the bugs come back off :)

I wish that was the case. Florida has the joy known as "lovebugs". Terrible little creatures that fly around attached to each other. Every summer, they swarm up everywhere! The worst part? They are highly acidic. They take your paint off like acid rain. I ...

I pretty much just wave at cruisers... every now and then I wave at street bikers but I never get a response. Are they afraid of me?

I test drove mine on the weekend and now I can't do anything else besides talk about cycles and complain about not being able to ride. I won't admit I have a problem... because motorcycling is not a problem, it's just awesome.
