    Some of my friends got together to ride yesterday around 5:30 threw the country where we live.
    We started off with 4 bikes and met another friend 50 miles away where we age. We left with 5 of us at sunset, we rode on threw the woods. We were riding around 9:00pm when the lead dude run over about a 6' snake that when he run over it the snake went up intp the air, bearly missing the dude and girl behind him and landed in front of my buddy who ran over it on a Classic and it threw it up into his crashbars. He kicked it loose and it landed on the road in front of me. I seen it striking at everything. I seerved to the left and picked my feet up. It looked like a rattle snake. My buddy behind me blew his fuse to his headlight and was runnign on running lights and never seen it.
    Did I ever say, I hate snakes.

    Oh geez, now cottonmouths. :eek: I was happy in NH - no poisonous snakes. Georgia was different, freaking copperheads everywhere, and you have to be real careful about jumping in a creek on a hot summer day because of those cottonmouths. I got stung by a scorpion in bed when I was pregnant. Hate those things too.

    Ask Ricky what he was doing riding with a snake on his crash bars. It freaked him out.
    It was near dark , everything happened so fast there wasn't much time to think.
    But when it was on the ground in front of me, I freaked cause it looked like it was wanting to run and bite something at the same time.
    With a camera the old lady could of never gotten it up and took a picture, It happened that fast.

    Did you figure out what was shortin yer head light out dude.

    Well Red, I'm riding in the lead so I can throw it up on your bike. I'd love to see you whip out a gun and shoot that bad boy as it flies off my rear tire.

    Abby, I'm a fine shot but I don't think I'll be shooting any snake flying into me from your tire. Snakes don't slow bullets that much, and it'd be a bad trip if I plugged your reborn ride or you.

    Nah, I'd go for the clutch hand catch on the fly, going for the tail so I could "crack the whip" and snap its neck - or even take the head clean off. That way there is more skin for the belt or band, too.
