Default More Rattlesnakes!


I already posted this in the KLX section but thought it was worth the extra mileage and attention here!

Okay, so I pull my bike out of the garage, heard a hissing sound and thought it was a tire leaking air. I pulled the bike out onto the driveway and I'm looking at the tires and the sound becomes more pronounced - WTF? I just happened to look at the motor and there he is about a foot from my face - a rattlesnake coiled between the carb and engine! Brought a bucket over and coaxed him out and into it - It should arrive alive and safe and Deej's doorstep via FedEx by Thursday! Just another day in the desert - time for a ride, it's pushing 75º!

wow, that is crazy! Glad that you did not sit on the bike while getting the ride out of the garage.
The snake looks pretty healthy too.

hah, you guys and your snakes. you want a scare?, go on thin trails with a wheeler at 11:00pm, get mud all over the headlights, and start doing 50 or so, then get a 10point buck to hop in front of you [:@][8D] but really, id buy a dog of some sort if i were you, then buy the dog kevlar
