"then for a mile or two they'd be blanket heavy like smoke clouds. Stopping for fuel I literally used a finger to 'scrape' the layer off around my goggles (used my left hand for face cover when the herds were heavy)"
HOLY COW! That sounds like something in a Hitchcock movie!
Love Bugs? We don't have those out here in the southwest I guess and boy it sounds like we're lucky we dont! We have relatively few bugs and no mosquitos at all to speak of, so one good thing about desert I guess. Though I have ridden thru a Bee swarm once which was an eye-opener, lol
I live in a dusty area so my bike is rarely "perfect" but I try to keep it looking spiffy within reason. I wash it about every two weeks, spend about 10 minutes on the white walls once a week and it looks pretty good (just a wee bit dusty is all). I spot clean it in between washes.
