GEESH, there are few things (on two wheels, that is) as enjoyable as a nice, long late night ride in the summertime.... What a fanfrakingtastic ride last night.

Yeah the bugs are nasty here, too (REALLY nasty ).... I do wish I'd Honda polished my visor before we left, cus they stick less that way (and they do also make portable honda polish wipes for mid-ride bug cleanup ).

Oh yeah, the honda polish cleans the visor(and bike) of bugs real nicely.

Oh heck yeah, it's great for visors!!! Also good if you get caught out in some unexpected rain, cus it makes the water wick off like rain x does for your windshield.

We were out in the country, and actually didn't see ANY deer.... until we got back on I-95 for a short stretch (two exits)... saw a little herd of them on the shoulder as SOON as we got on the interstate.

Night rides out were I live are fine if I'm just commuting in Pensacola in the city or riding out at the beach. But if go out a bit to cantonment or something you better stay at that speed limit because you'll come around a corner and there will be 3 or 4 of them bastards just standing in the middle of the rode. Idk maybe I'll feel a little dif when I get some HID's and can actually see up ahead.

If you have a fog resistant visor DO NOT use anything other than water to clean the inside or you'll wave "bye,bye" to all the fog free goodness! I have a previously fog free Scorpion shield to prove it!
