Default More Rattlesnakes!


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 75ยบ!

HOLY F#CK I am so glad i don't live anywhere near you..j/k n I hate snakes anything that can move without legs has got to be bad in my book. And to claim territory over your bike...I think I would be too scared to go near the bike in case there was another in the airbox..did you look in there?[]

More fun Huckleberry! Did you notice the heart shape in between his eyes? Must have been born on Valentine's Day like you Mark, so don't kill it let him loose out at the McDowell Mountain Preserve! Also looks like you're living up to your PWI name!

Holy ****, I like snakes and I think that might have even given me the jeebies a little bit. I wonder if he crawled up in there last night to keep warm, did you ride your bike yesterday?

Brian, yes the engine must have still been warm from my ride yesterday. I don't mind the riding partner as long as he helps pay for the gas!
