Wow, put about 83 miles on the scoot and the front and shield on my helmet just coated with them things. Now I have to soak some towels over the to soften them to clean as I only use water to wash. Nice ride, cool about 80 today lite breeze some cloud coverage, love that HWY 41 and average speed today on it was 65, GPS said top was 73mph. Just good Old Florida Fun.....

Yep, I do remember those love bugs. Really nasty when in season. But we lived a lot south of the worst of those nasty bugs. As I remember when we lived down there for several years was the love bugs were more north in the Jacksonville area and not near so bad down by Boca Raton where we lived. Let us see now, that would have been way back in the 1965 and 1978 years.
Since then we have been in different US areas and climate zones. Now down in south Arizona. Some bugs but not anywhere as buggy as Florida.

I have been here 13 years and it is the worst I have seen it. The wind shield looked and noise section looked so bad and I always keep the Reflex looking so good.

As I remember it was bad enough to force you to stop driving and needing a windshield wash to continue. Even some gas stations in the Coco Beach area would charge for the windshield cleaning, no gratis windshield wipe like the rest of the year got. Two bugs hooked together made pretty big splats and they were sticky too.
Love bugs are a disaster when they are flying.

Helmet and face shield cleaning not a problem.... Wind shield and front of scooter at 65 - 70 mph in this heat, what a mess
