Douse it with canned tomatoes and hose it off? Seems to work on my dog who can't seem to learn to leave them alone.

RE: Skunk !
There is a formula for getting the smell out online. I have done the tomato juice thing on 1 of my labs that didn't like to leave them alone either but all it did was mute the smell. i still couldn't stand him near me. Will see if I can find a link for you.

Edit, here it is. Not sure if it would hurt a bikes finish or not.

When I saw the thread title I was a little startled. Thought I had the wrong forum. We don't have those animals in OZ Smile

I thought that the thread might be about some super-secret Honda prototype bike based on the CB1100 :-)

Almost ran over one of these last weekend on the run over the Bunya mountains. I had only just fitted new tyres too.
