Default Sticker removal - how?

Could someone please tell me the best way to remove the idiot stickers ( "always wear a helmet, Ride safely blah blah) from my bike without leaving any residue or damaging the paintwork?

for the residue, I found a very dry thumb better than WD 40 - you can rub the sticky stuff up to a blob and peel off to lump of sticky - then use WD 40 for the last bits

A flamethrower should do the trick.

I've got some 'Sticky Stuff Remover' from betterware. Anyone reckon this will damage the paintwork?
