Angry Friggin' Bubble Gum

Sometime during the course of today's ride I ran over a wad of chewing gum that some ****tard spit out on the roadway. Now its all over the back of my bags and mufflers.

Anybody have any good tips on the best way to remove this crap?

"Oops" should take it off anything metal without any problems. On the bags, just make sure you wax it real good after using the Oops. You can get it at any Wal-Mart, pretty cheap.

The ole tried and true Ice cube will get a lot of it..

I have used GOO GONE on other things, but not gum, might try it.

Ice sometimes, makes it easier to scrape off. WD40 and Gunk Bug & Tar remover also work. I heard one time something about peanut butter. I think that was about getting gum out hair.

Ok, its late and I'am in numb mood.
Another way is get a DNA test, run down the ****tard and wipe it with his A$$ till it comes clean...that'll teach him..

Use the air in a can that you can buy to clean dust out of your computer. Turn the can upside down and spray the gum. It will freeze the gum and should be easy to remove. It shouldnt hurt any thing.
