Snake on a bike at speed
205? I seriously doubt my ability to keep it rubber side down if this happened to me. Snakes scare the crap right outta me!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBnVs6ch4EQ couldn't figure out how to embed the video. Would someone with more brains than me please embed this bastard? |

That could have been more serious.
 Imagine that you're out riding and there's movement in the front of your pants. No - not a big boner. A real live (fer goodness) Trousersnake! Now, cue Samuel L. Jackson for the warning: "What is it with these muthafuc*in snakes in the pants on this muthafuc*in dude on this muthafuc*in motorcycle!"

It's not the same, exactly, but two different evenings in a week's time I've had a lizard pop up from my triple-tree while on the ride in to work. I feel like shit about it, but I learned from the first one that #1, they aren't bright enough just to find a place (like the top of the speedo) that is more wind-protected (instead they keep crawling around), and #2, they become exhausted from the wind buffeting they weren't bright enough to stay out of. The first little guy fell off to certain death... but two nights ago a larger one showed up on the handlebars, so I pulled off of I-95, off of the shoulder into the grass, and shoo'ed him off the end of the handlebar into the grass.
Sure, not as sqeamish for many as a snake, but it's sort of the same WTF moment. Not sure why this is only just happening after parking my work-commute motorcycles in the same place for over a year, but at least I'm ready for it now.
