WTF is up with gnats? How can they be so small and stick like a b!tch. Usually everything else will come off but its those little bastards that give me the most trouble.

Didn't you know they make superglue out of gnat guts? I always get plastered with those things, and end up with a few flying around in my helmet. [:@]

They wont come offcar paint, bike paint, helmets visors, etc. I have them.
After 3 days they won't come off. As they dry up the acid in their bodies gets more concentrated and eats through paint.

I hate the little bastards....we get them once or twice a year in FL. This year was the worst.
Here is what they did to me after one ride. Believe it or not, try using dryer sheets, it works!! Wet the sheet and wash your bike with it, follow up with soap and water. I've seen some guys cover the front of the bike with the blue painters tape.
