Spent my teenage years in Ft Lauderdale at Riverside Military Academy. We were there 3 months over the winter. Almost bought a place from a friend in Coca Beach. Went down and checked it out. The only reason I could see having a bike in Florida is to bar hop. More power to ya my friend. I live in Louisiana just south of the Arkansas border. I have no problem doing 400-450 miles a day for 2 days and can ride twisties for most of the hours I'm riding those 2 days. Maybe 3 hours of that weekend I'm not in the twisties. From Coca Beach I can't make it to Georgia fast enough. Plus i learned you can't open chips outside in Florida. They are soggy in 10 minutes, 🙁

Yep. Had a friend who went to R back in the mid 70's. Long gone now.....  And we lost touch a long time ago.  I live in Florida, I like to ride. Even if it's straight and flat.... 

Good thing I have friends in North Carolina and a son who lives in Tennessee.

I use Plexus. Spray it on the windshield once or twice a week, and wipe it down with a cloth. Makes the screen super slippery, and if a bug does splat on the screen, it doesn't stick much, and is easily wiped off with a cloth. Works on helmet screens as well....

I didn't have any Plexus, but used a polisher/cleaner I bought when Plexus was hard to get.  Everything is nice and shiny now and maybe the bugs won't stick so bad.  With an ST there was lots of plastic to use Plexus on.

Holey Cow!!  I just bought a big can of Plexus.  Can I write it off of my income tax?

It looks like the rest of us don't have to worry about bugs anymore because fddriver2 got them all. Thank you!

I only hit one bug this morning so you might be right.

Lemon Pledge, Coop.  It just works.  Use one microfiber cloth for cleaning, another one for buffing.  Plastics, paint, windscreens, face shields, cold chrome...it works (and you don't have to take out a loan equal to the Gross Domestic Product of a small country to finance the purchase of a can - not even a big one).

And you smell good afterward too.

+1 - I use the orange Pledge myself.  I was shocked when I went to my local Cycle Gear to get a can of Plexus and it was almost $25 a can!!

That's a better deal than I got, but I do like Plexus.  Maybe it's time to adapt, after all I use Mobil 1 on my guns.  Ooops!  Does that make this an oil thread now?
