I should rest the previous messages, I take it you picked up the blue bike.  Looks like great ride.  Just run in and ready for some good rides.

It is a slightly dark blue shade of red.

 Yep, the one I was asking about in a previous thread. Got 500 kms worth of bugs over the front that I need to come to an understanding with this morning.....

Enjoy it Troy. Best way to clean bugs off is to leave it out in the dew over night and then clean it while still damp.

I carry a damp chamois in a pannier so that when I stop I can wipe the bugs of the visor and front of the bike.

Well bought, Troy!
You've scored yourself a smooth reliable touring bike with enough spirit to make the corners fun.
Hope to see a lot more of your rides on the Forum.

Goodonya Troy, and I'm sure we'll meet up on the road.   :hatwave

I totally support Glen's suggestion.  An overnight dew will free the most stubborn of bugs, and they wipe off without effort.
