I'm down here in Florida and live in the boonies. The LoveBugs here this season are horrendous,....it seems that every time they come around they get worse and worse. Well with that said they aint going away. My question is simply this. Does anyone have something that they use to get these klittle bastards off your bike or for that matter any vehicle you drive. I've tried a ton of products but when they shmoosh onto the vehicle it's as though thier innards are made of super glue.....So any help would be great.....

Thanks folks

 

I hear your pain brother!
I was out the other day riding and didn't se another bike around. I know this is why.
Juicy little bastards aren't they?

 

I wonder what the protein level is? I eat plenty. Try Mcguires quick detailer. spray it on let set and use a damp terry cloth to wipe off. works for me.

 

get large soft towels and place on bike / car then soak the towels and walk away..return about 20 to 30 minutes later.. 90% of bugs will just drop off with the hose or stick to towel...flip towel and repeat ...do not scrub at the bugs because they will scratch the plastic windshield and paint..2 large beach towels and 2 smaller ones for the mirrors are ussually enough for most cars and bikes.

 

What IM said .... works like a charm.

LB's are starting to thin out down here with lot's of solo fliers ....so'oooo.....the end is near!

P.S. - They taste better with a little salt and pepper or a strong hot sauce.

 

Also use aused dryer sheet, you know Bounty softner sheets, when your wife removes them from the dryer keep'em,wet bike and dryer sheet, love bugs will melt away. The dryer sheet will turn the water milky and will leave a film, so after the bugs are gone wash with soap
Works great, you have to know these tricks in South Louisiana

 

And the faster you do all this, the better. Those darned things will etch the paint if you leave them on long enough, not to mention, they get 10x's harder to remove once they've set up! [:@]

 

Thier guts are actually acidic so they will eat paint and chrome if you leave them on.

 

Nasty little critters - I keep a bottle of S100 Special Surface Cleaner in the trunk and get these guys off as soon as possible when riding. When I get home, I use warm water towel trick mentioned earlier. Seems to do the trick.

One good thing about having a broken foot .... can't ride my bike, so there aren't any bugs on it! Now my truck is loaded with 'em though.
