I'm usually not afraid of snakes, but having this pop out from nowhere would certainly freak me out....

I HAD THIS EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME JUST LAST WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Except I was out in the back pasture on my 4-wheeler. Sumbeetch looked almost exactly like that one too, but a bit smaller. It came up and looked at me from between the handlebars and fuel tank. Myself and the 4-wheeler went barreling down the hill a bit faster as I let go the bars and stood on the seat for a few seconds - until my mind could calculate exactly what breed of snake it was, and that it was not poisonous. It dropped off on it's own before I could get back up to the house. I might have pee'd just a little as I first saw staring at me. But far better a snake than a big, hairy eight legged freak IMO.
nope! Not watching it. Not going to happen.
The scariest thing to happen to me while riding was to have a yellow jacket fly inside my helmet as I was going down the road at about 35 to 40 mph. I had my face shield up and that yellow jacket flew up and caught the right corner of my sunglasses.....it looked like it was trying to sting it. I quickly reached in with my left hand and yanked the glasses off and tossed it.....
I had one in my helmet once. When I put it on it stung me at the outside edge of my left eye. Ripped my helmet off so fast half his body was stuck in me and the other half was gone. My left eye twitched for several hours..
I check my helmet every time before putting it on.
