I'm in southern Ohio, and they're not around here too much yet...rode over to Greenbo State Lodge in Greenup County, Ky a few days ago, and the little buggers were screamin'! [:'(]
I rode from Halls Gap to Munfordsville KY yesterday. Had 3 hard cicada hits. One hit so hard, my chin went numb. The other two direct hits were on my sunglasses. That was messy. I had several that hit my brake and throttle cables, they slimed me pretty good.
I've ridden about 170 miles in the last two days and I've been picking their remains out of places such as shock tubes, windshield crannys, engine fins, etc. They're everywhere.
