So I have been commuting to work every possible time I can.. So I got a meeting this afternoon. Wearing Suit pants and a White shirt.... After riding into work, I get to the garage and take off my Mesh jacket....

Bug Splatter right on the front Pocket of the shirt.......... Think it might be time for a leather....

a bug actually went through a jacket with holes in it!?!? Call Ripleys :laughing:

just kidding, but yeah, either hang a spare suit in your office, or even wear a light windbreaker over the mesh when you are heading to a meeting.

I wear a half head and onve had a flying ant manage to squeeze right in the apce between my for head and my lid. I had no idea it was ther until that little bastar started stinging me. At first, it just itched, but then that crap started to HURT. I pulled over and there was the fatest ant I had ever seen just stinging away.

it is really annoying when bugs fly into your helmet and start buzzing around inside right in front of your face.

never really started collecting bugs until I got the bandit. the hondas windscreen was so huge that bugs never hit my helmet.

I had a bug so hard that when it hit me i bounced off my visor. The only reason i know it was a bug is because it splatted just a little and left green gunk where it hit.

The easiest way to get them out:

Open your face shield and do a shoulder check, the wind whips into your helmet and pulls the bugs right out. This works best at highway speeds. If you're in town just tell the officer, "I was trying to get the bug outta my helmet."
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
