Go easy on the Dihydrogen Monoxide -it's bad for environment, lol! http://www.dhmo.org/
Due in part to its widespread use in industry, Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is involved in many environmental incidents each year. While most are unavoidable given current technology, there can be little doubt that the presence of DHMO in each significantly increases the negative impact to the environment.

Had a half-dozen or so love bugs (not in full bloom yet) plus 3 or 4 major gut splatters here and there after a ride today. Did the peroxide deal using a damp mF cloth.
Sprayed the peroxide on the crud, left it alone for 15 seconds or so, and gently wiped with the damp mF cloth - ZAP... GONE as in POOF. Little black bodies, wings, and chit on the cloth but nothing left on the scoot. Couldn't even see where anything had been done - just the crud was gone.
I'm sold.

Tried It, It Works!
Ha! This is one of those great "Biker Lore" stories about something that actually works!
Detailed my bike yesterday after a 16 hour ride up to middle Wisconsin and back two day ago.
Bugs galore, even with the low temps-
On a whim, and not believing it would work, I tried the H Peroxide thing-
Works Great!
Maybe I'll package it as a "Bug Remover" solution----- I'll make millions!

Yep, works good. Strong peroxide, like the stuff you use to whiten your teeth or industrial strength will have a chemical reaction with metal if left on long enough. What you buy in a bottle is much weaker stuff, only 2 or 3%, but still you should make sure you get it all off. I use it on the bugs then I use pledge, maybe bug slide or something similar for the shine and to take off any residue peroxide. It's a good combination. By the way bug slide by its self works well for taking bugs off, but it is very expensive and it takes much less of it if all you want is the shine it gives.
