Texas Revs up to 75 mph

Yep. and it keeps the polyester suits from clinging to the bugs hairy legs too. They appreciate that a lot. :roflmao:

YOu don't know what the bugs here has but Mulk
When they hit the windshield or fairing and all, there's just a color spot of yulk.
And its stuck on there.
They are on the bike , dryed and stuck, you can't take a wet towel and get them off. You got to take a water hose and wet them and try to knock some of them off and wait and do it again.
It you take a rag with soap you tend to scratch the fairing.
That's why I use the pressure washer.

Leave to coast and come up here
I have cattle all around me
Right now we got do many bugs you can't sit on the pourch without them being on you
And the skeeters will eat you up

Hadn't really thought much about bugs. I've always just cleaned, polished & waxed my old ironhead and never had much of a problem with them. Ran into the most bugs, as I remember, in parts of Texas and Lousiana in my cross country wanderings. Also snakes in the road and frogs - lots of 'em.

When I talk about CAttle I mean thousands of acres, I can drive 70 miles north, east and west and still be in cattle country. And it don't stop there.

If you google Livingston, Texas you can see how close I am to Lousiana

This is on the lake next to us.

Working East Texas Cattle Ranch in the rolling hills of the piney woods of southeast Texas.  Two hours northeast of HOuston, one hour north of Beaumont, 4 hours south of Dallas.  A magnificent working cattle ranch raising rare British White cattle.

Crockett is about 60 miles north of me.

We rode around this ranch last weekend.
It is pretty Big. But not the biggest by no means.

Its part of living in East Texas.
We got people coming from College Station and when they hit 45 north coming this way, they say what is it with the bugs over here.

My bike is totally covered up.
Not to mention me and the Ol

One question: what's a love bug?

A bug that loves to put his butt on anything you have.

If you crank your lawnmower you will attrack millions of them. They really come to sound.

Birds will not eat them, neither will lizzards

been in the 70s for a week

God!!! Looks like you boys need to hire a fleet of crop dusters loaded with DDT!

Harleyslr, those may flies make for great fishing and are gone in 2 weeks, but I've never seen a swarm of bugs like that.
