On a trip to Key West one year with my son, we ran into those bastards.

I sold my bike about 3 years later.

I knew the shop owner personally where I traded.

On the next ride he sponsored he found me and asked what the hell I'd run through with that bike before I traded it off.

Told him I had went through those Love Bugs 3 years prior in Florida.  He said the detailers are still cussing that bike.

I know I had a hell of a time getting them off the windshield and the front of my pants legs.

Greetings from the Pan-handle Tundra!  coolsmiley Those nasty bugs are just now starting to show up this way.  tickedoff Living up here all my life I think they will be bad for a couple weeks now and by the end of the month close to being gone!  Wink  They will surely eat up your paint if you don't clean it up quick I'm sure you know.  Lips Sealed  So I expect to see them most of a month this way!  coolsmiley
Best to you!

So they copulate, stay hooked together for good, and smash into cars, trucks and bikes (then eat the paint off).

Sounds like some college parties I attended. 

Keep them down there.   Grin
