It is 90 flipping degrees F. here and the loser bugs are a PITA, need a windscreen

I think tear offs on the visor would be a better solution, even on big touring bikes it's hard to keep your head out of the airstream. Most screens on the speed triple are way too low to deflect bugs from the helmet.

 

Sorry,but moaning about the heat and bugs 'aint going to get you much sympathy on here.
Cold and wet in the UK

 

Hey Chris fancy doing a house swap for a couple of months..it's a bit cooler were i live

 

Carry a damp chammy leather (wash leather? - two nations divided by a common language) in a plastic food/freezer bag and use it to clean off the little bug(ger)s as and when necessary. Works for me!

 

i did this route a few years back and in Death Valley it was something like 130f..just a bit too warm for me ..would love to do it again though

 

Scotland has better roads

 

Great idea on the screen cleaner and cloth, i keep one under the seat cowl and use it on a rollie break

 

we picked the bikes up and dropped them back off in LA and it was pretty busy getting in and out, but it didn't seem to take long to get out on to quieter roads,i do like the heat (probably because we don't get enough in Scotland!) the majority of the time it was about 90f-100f which i thought was great,but that day in and around Death Valley was something else..just like riding through a giant hairdryer..i was advised to soak my t shirt and keep my jacket on as that way you are cooler and it did do the trick ! before that we would stop and the guy in the back up van would spray us all with water but 1 minute later we were totally dry i would recommend anyone thinking of doing a road trip in America to head over to the west..just like in this country west is best!..although the blue ridge mountains in the east looks really good

 

In the summer here I take out one of those 'V' sponges. Really good, you just wet them, put it in the little plastic pouch and you can give your visor a wipe when you stop/traffic lights etc. Small too so you dont notice it in your pocket.

 

Yeah, shortage of bugs here at the moment, they have all drowned!

 

^^couple of more months n all we will be doing is.......burning some rubbers n cleaning the bugs. I sincerely hope. Knowing our luck we will be seeing our own reflection on the road than the bloody tarmac.

we should change our passion from bikes to boats .

 

As for the solution. As others have said I carry a microfibre cloth with visor cleaner. And I wear a zipped (not metal) hoddie on top of my leather jacket to avoid damage from excessive bug splatter.

 

And more than enough midgies for the whole of the UK.

 

Ditto. Stick a damp cloth under the bar for wiping on the go.

 

On the contrary me duck, East Midlands and East Angular rule.
