: I discovered a new road hazard yesterday.... DaveX 08-10-2005, 02:05 AM SNAKES! There is alot of wild life around here, and it's common to see ground hogs, skunks and squirrels out on the road. But yesterday I was out for a ride and came upon a farily large snake curled up in the middle of the road. It occured to me that this could be a real problem if I hit one in the middle of a curve (instant slick spot). Anyone ever hit a snake while riding on the road? easter bunny 08-10-2005, 02:14 AM I came around a blind curve and had 3 turkeys standing there staring at me. I also had a deer come out and start running down the road next to me. Like so close I could almost touch it. Didn't know if I shoudl speed up or slam on the brakes. Chris2pher 08-10-2005, 02:16 AM Damn, I never thought about running over a snake. I rarely see animals on the roads I ride, except maybe an occassional squirrel around my campus and where I live. gsxr313 08-10-2005, 02:40 AM Last time I went to Deal's Gap I actually ran over a freshly pre-flattened one and yes it was scary. I almost lost the front end but thankfully didn't.

This was the first time I almost hit a snake, but I've almost hit ducks, geese, ground hogs, dogs, squirells and possums. The possums suck because the won't get out of the way even if they see you coming. They are like a big stupid rat and we have alot of them here.
