dead fly picture thread
 

ok so summer 2012 is finally here. (talking about the weather any way). Everyone seems to be using there bikes, taking it home and then washing them. to then use it the next day for it to get dirty again. The main thing making them dirty being flies. (for road riders anyway).

so here is a thread for pictures of peoples BIKES, HELMETS and LEATHERS covered in flies. just put how long your ride was before cleaning it. ill go first


- 3 hours worth of riding in the beautiful sun

That wasp is rank haha! Luckily my bike's yellow so the wasp gunk doesnt show up as bad as that haha!

Re: dead fly picture thread
 

Yeah, but YELLOW bikes attract the effers!

Re: dead fly picture thread
 

speaking of this what do you guys find is the best way to clean helmet/visor after such a day? warm soapy water or is there any sneaky tricks

Re: dead fly picture thread
 

soak kitchen roll and leave it on your visor soaking for like 10-20 mins, should loosen up the flies nicely

Re: dead fly picture thread
 

ahh nice cheers

Pledge will take the bugs off instantly. Works a treat on leathers as well.

Re: dead fly picture thread
 

I use hand soap (less likely to be scratchy than washing up liquid) and VERY hot water. Works every time

I told the local village idiot it was hundreds and thousands

Re: dead fly picture thread
 

I've got a V2 sponge very handy for when you're out & about

One from my recent trip to France, I had already cleaned visor three times that day...
