Revenge on midges !

[~Stef~]

Managed to take out a few thousand last night, this is the clear visor I swapped over to before heading home.

Must admit to using the ZZR so I could sneak up on them faster

Good man

Ta in advance

They can be right wee bastids in Glen Etive/Coe.
Mind when they were doing that new bridge at the gorge, waiting at the lights it was impossible to even lift your visor

I stopped on Rannoch Moor to take a few pics once ... never again!

What do they eat when there's no bikers about?

 

[Buz]

Is there a 'Midge season' ie when they are at their worst? or are the little bastids always around?

Mainly the summer months, when there laying there eggs, its only the female that bite, no suprise there then

Probably attracted to bikers becuase for some reason they like dark clothing.

Personally i've found Avon's skin so soft Woodland fresh keeps them away.

after measuring the skid marks on the visor

it is considered that the forward velocity of the said visor was somewhat in excess of that set down by the midge preservation society.
