Default cleaning your "grill"

At the tender ago of 54 my dentist finally convinced me to get braces to correct and overbite problem. Since buying my RKC I come home after every ride with my "grill" full of bugs. Have anyone else had a similar problem? My wife suggested that I keep my mouth closed but smiling on the King is involuntary. Any and all suggestions will be appreciated.

You could trade for a "Rice Rocket", that way you wouldn't smile at all, I guess that isn't an option, huh. Well how about a face shield that covers your smile, better than trading or not riding. Hope you get the bugs out before summer really hits or you might just have to brush a little harder after every ride. Most people brush after every meal, first time I've heard of after every ride. Good luck and be safe out there.

Those are both viable options - I have a face shield for my 1/2 helmet and full face helmet; but I prefer the feel of the wind in my face. The bugs may be an issue but one that is well worth the effort. I bought a water pic yesterday, it's a lot easier on my teeth, gums, face, etc than the car wash.

Man, that's too funny, but you may need a pressure washer by August when they really get bad and no night riding.
