If I run into "one" that smells like skunk, I ain't waiting around for her to try and make it smell good. I'm running the other way and FAST!!!

Mix Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and Dawn dish soap....the only real way to rid the smell from the bike or my Rottweiler.....Save the Tomato juice for your Bloody Mary.

Gasoline is your answer, wash the sprayed areas with a rag liberally soaked in gas. Follow with a thorough soap and water wash. Used to know 2 brothers that caught and skinned skunks for the hides, they swore by a gas wash. I have washed clothes in gas after washing my dog that got sprayed, it really works. And no, I did not wash the dog in gas, soda water and tomatoe juice works for dogs though.
Ride safe!

Mythbusters tested a bunch of the skunk remedys, and this was the best they found!

All right, Last night I tried the Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dishwashing detergent, mixing them in a garden sprayer and spraying down the whole bike making sure to get up in the wheel wells and under the chassis. I let it sit for an hour and then washed with greased lightning. I actually worked pretty good. Still have a little bit of oder, but 10 thousand times better. I think I'll forgo the other ideas especially burrying the bike for month 
I wonder if I can just hang a bunch of those pine scented car fresheners all over the bike

Scott, you can hang two of them pine scented freshers from each mirror if you like.
Btw, please post the ingredients list and amounts please, just incase any of us hit one(skunk) in the near future.
Good to hear it works,
Rob

This is the ingredients, I just added 3x as much of each 1 quart (.95 liters) of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, a quarter cup (59 milliliters) of baking soda and one teaspoon (5 milliliters) of liquid detergent
