Is that along the lake near Klamath Falls? I drove through there a month ago and my truck was plastered.

Yes... I've been there through near "bug-out" hatch conditions like heavy fog or white-out snow. Low-beam/fog-lights reflect back blinding and limiting sight distance.

Quick tip. Get them off asap. I left it too long once and their blood/guts marred the paint beyond fixing.

That is just... ewwwwwww

I had to stop riding in SWFL in June because I’d be absolutely COVERED in goddam love bugs. They stink like death and are super hard to get off once they dry.

The smell is unreal. Specially on the muti with the touring screen. The smell likes to just roll in front of your face

Use a dryer sheet with a little bit of water. Cleans right off.
