I have cats to take care of the bugs. They just lick them off. The only problem is they are indoor cats and it's hard to get the RG thru the garage walk door and up the stairs.

Mine is being washed right now. It's parked outside here at work and it is raining.
Love the wheather. ;D

Am I committing heresy ?

I've ridden LD four times about 75 miles each time since I cleaned it last.

I don't detail my bikes after every ride, but I'll usually use the detailing spray to get the bugs off...other than that, the bikes get washed maybe twice a year and spray detailed in between.

I use Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0 twice a year this stuff lasts a long time and  a detail wax in between, I never have a problem with bugs I just take a hot towel to the bugs and they wipe wright off. :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:
