Problems with the engine filter

[toroddf]

Yes, I am in the right community.

During the spring and summer, there is a lot of insects around. When I am puffing around on the roads in Scotland, feeding my engine with air through my mouth and then lungs, I tend to get my engine contaminated by these insects. Sometimes, that goes for large insects. Cycling alongside smelly farmfields, that is the feed I would like to be without. That equals having to stop, violent coffing and almost vomiting.

What do you do to protect your engine filter against this kind of of contamination ? Any kind of mouth protection you would recommend ?

This is not a joke. I am fed up with hard coffing and slime. Please help.

Lost my glasses on the last tour. Jesus that was a pain, insects downhill at 35mph are not funny.

I couldn't ride on a hot sticky summer afternoon wearing a buff.

When breathing hard = filter through the teeth = easier to spit the meat back out.
