They are called love bugs because they hook up while breeding, and stay that way, flying together happily everywhere, especially on roads.
When you hit them they are made of epoxy glue, and acid. (not literally but it seems like it)
They are next to impossible to remove, and if you leave them they eat the paint and leave a nasty pit.
People use grease; wax; Pam; on their bikes to help clean them off afterwards.
Some people wash their bike every day, some like me wait until the swarm is over and just spend a day cleaning.
Most smart people just park the bike until they are gone.
One rule everyone abides by, keep your mouth closed.

Dryer softener sheets and Mr Clean Magic Erasers seem to do a good job of cleaning the little buggers off the vehicle.
