After a very successful trip to Wales last weekend, I have a huge amount of dead flies on my leathers...can someone tell me the best way to clean them please :-/ ;D I hit something rather big on Sunday and it's left a lovely red blood splat all the way up my right arm. Leathers are black and white so is there anything available that is better for white leathers?? :

Aren't there some lizards and spiders that eat this sort of cuisine

if its fresh, baby wipes are pretty good, but a proper leather cleaner (i use NikWax) is dam good.....

Damp teatowel left on for 20 minutes will soften them enough to be wiped off... particularly effective on helmets & fairing fronts!

I used boiling water. Poor it onto a decent cloth, then wipe, takes them off in seconds. Use the same for the front of the bike too!

I use a clean sponge + warm water. The work of mere moments [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Yes but these are some real tough squirmy little buggers that really got into the nooks and corners...water is not going to be man enough for the job! ;D
I know, I will get my man servant to do it! ;D ;D

If you wear a hi-vis vest, you can take that off after a ride and put it through the wash. Sorted [smiley=bath.gif]
