Surprised by snake
Went out to the bike the other day and had a suprise. The snake must have wanted to get out and ride on the wild side. Would have been trouble if I had thrown my leg over the bike before looking or reached across to turn on the ignition.
Had a heck of a time getting him off the bike. I used a water hose on him then he just disappeared, darn thing went up into the fairing. Had to move the bike from the end while wife was straightening up the handle bars with a broom handle. When that snake dropped out at her feet she freaked, had to beg her not to shot the bike. Bike and snake are safe, she missed both.
Just a heads up to those in snakey areas. Dont believe it was poisiones but still would have given me a heart attack.

Been told that even non-poisiones snake will bite if threatened, figured throwing my leg over the bike and putting my crotch in his face would be considered hostile. Dont even want to think where he might have bitten.

I would have taken him for a ride! He looked comfy, but I am curious how long he would have hung in there. I know, sounds crazy, but snakes never have bothered me. Now... if it were a big spider then it would be a different story.

I love snakes, especially when they are dead. Love spiders the same way. I know for a fact, poisonous or not, once it was off the bike I would have shot it!!!!!

Snakes don't bother me either. Like all animals, they're useful. I'll take snakes over rats and mice anyday.
