Must be some tough trash if you got to keep it in a cage.

All those bugs on the bike and you notice an empty garage.  :chugbeer:

I was curious about the watering unit on the cage thing behind the helmet. Does your dog get bottled water?

That looks more like a monkey cage than something for a dog. We have water bottles like that on our dog's crates.

Was your last ride used to determine the overall wind protection/coverage of the C14? 
What position was the windshield set at?
Any bugs on the arms, legs, etc.?

Side note..... If your hair itches, you might have had the helmet vents open

That helmet looks like a regular summer ride around here.Thankyou Cee Bailey for protection.
  My poor daughter, on her Suzuki, has to clean her visor after a couple of hundred km's.
Bug juice will eat the finish off so be sure to clean asap!

That is gross!  In late spring and in summer it is like that here at times.  Right now all the bugs are dead or frozen or hibernating or whatever they do when they go bye-bye.

Dear guys i'm sorry about my terrible english! I mean 『When I ride home and saw my bike and helmet』sorry.......

In Taiwan, the bugs were everywhere especialy around coast road during summer of sunset! That's why my helmet looks so gross!

By the way the cage is for my Dog, but he just does't like that cage!(me too)

My Dog is a Labrador, named 『Tobby』he can get the water outside of the cage perfectly, not too worry! ( that's for pet's only)

And the last thing is about that little green box, that just my garage door remote, not the phone for helmet!!


My wife and Tobby

Welcome to the forum. I travel to Taiwan off and on for business and have stayed at the Sunrise Gold & Country Club not far from you. I always though it would be good riding over in the Hualien area but would scare me to ride anywhere in Taipei. I would actually wash my bike more often if I encountered that many bugs!

+1 on the Cee Bailey. Keeps a lot of bugs off my face shield.
