After all it is September and you know what that brings. Kind of like in May if you catch my drift.  |

I saw a few in North Central Georgia yesterday and brought a few Specimen to Florida on my windshield, none of them are alive though. I have not seen any roaming around in the Ocala Nat'l Forest yet.

We have seen a few here that's why I brought it up. Oh well when they are gone for the season the weather should be cool enough to ride more.

I think it's been raining too hard down here for them to even take flight.
Haven't seen any.....yet.

Bugs.... you're talking about bugs?
Since it's the FL Board, I thought you guys were talking about bikinis.

Logged some miles with Billyboy today and had a great day riding I forgot about my back until I got home. I really enjoyed it today Bill, thanks for going and sorry about the late notice. Bugs are out, but not real bad. Wish I could go tomorrow, but I have family commitments. I have to take care of my in-laws tomorrow and that will eat half a day. I just won't have enough time to squeeze it in. The ones I got on my windshield look nothing like the ones in this thread?

Hopefully all of the love bugs will be gone by the time we get home from Pigeon Forge. Greg, Sandy, and Frank are just now arriving here to ride with Bert and I. The weather is wonderful for Great riding. Will try to get some pic's posted. Later, Sherrie & Bert.

Rode a few hours this morning, from sun up to around 0930 or so, didn't hit too many, maybe 8 or 10 strikes. I'm sure it's going to get worse before it gets better.

We rode over to Daytona this morning to attend the swap meet at Destination Daytona. Only found one item for the Harley. Non for the Valk. Didn't hit any of the nasty bugs til we got east of Palatka on the way back. Not real heavy yet, but still had to clean em up when we got home. Yep, the worst is yet to come.

I don't mind seeing them, it is eating them that creeps me out. The fuzzy squirming legs are not to my liking, and many are pretty bitter, even if protein.
