Crooz Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 10:30 pm here. Just return from a local Bike Nite at an area Harley Dealership / Bar & Grill. A couple hours ago just before dark & after eating, I walked outside the place to stroll over to the Harley Dealership lot which joins the complex. All the crowd was outside the bar where the music was being played. As I walk around I reached the far side where there were only 2 ladies gettng on their Harleys to leave. I had just walked by a line of Harley's parked under the porch. I reached the end of the line and felt something under my foot, as I turned to walk back the way I came I saw what I had stepped on. The tailend of a 4 ft black snake... now headed across the pavement toward the concrete and some parked Harley Dressers. NOW Let me that this oportunity to say... there is NOT a person in this state more scared of snakes than ME! That's physically impossible!!! I started talking to myself as I realized what I had just grazed with my foot..... as I retreated from the area I looked back to see the snake stop at the first Harley, it looked up and raised itself up to the bike and then disappeared into the bike. I now had reached a group of 4 guys, and I started to tell them what just happened. They looked at me as if I were full of sh**. About that time I looked back to see the snake come back to the ground from the other side of the bike. I said well look if you don't believe me. We were 40 ft from the snake. It went 5 ft over to the next full dresser, raised itself again and disappeared into the bike near the engine. Those guys and 3 others went over to see where it went. After about 6 minutes of looking for it in the bike they couldn't see it. One guy then went to the crowd/music area and had the DJ page the owner of the bike. Then 20 more folks went over to the bike to look for the snake. Ten minutes later after removing both hard saddlebags they still had not located it. A few minutes later the owner decided to crank the bike in hopes of running the snake out. He cranked it, after 1 minute he decided to roll it some. About 1 minute later someone saw it move downward toward the rear fender and spokes and they raked it out! CAN YOU IMAGINE leaving on this bike NOT KNOWING this thing was riding with you, only to find out as you hit interstate speed!
g.forrest Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 i feel sorry for the snake. only got harley dudes to hang with, even wild hogs never had a snake! ps. god must be american! as he's allways on their side.
Crooz Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 ps. god must be american! as he's allways on their side. Why do you think this?
Martin Barrett Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Good story about the snake. And I'm not going to poke the God thing with a long stick either, except to keep it out of the silly banter section Mr Forrest has light the blue touch paper and sat back with a couple of schooners with a bucket on his head and a sheet of plate steel stuffed up his jumper ((ala Ned Kelly) I also did my research at the movies ) for his Friday night entertainment. Anyway God told me she's applied for English citizenship to make up for St George being Turkish (not that there's anything wrong in being from Anatolia/Turkey) (Bigger spade required - pause to change foot etc)
docc Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 You're sure it was a 'black' snake and not a HOG nosed snake?
g.forrest Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Why do you think this? well for some reason i do believe this. it could be that my growing up with american tv, hollywood movies etc made me believe this at an early age. and i'm quite sure iv'e heard more than one of your presidents state the fact, not just george! [god is on our side] yep it's definately been stated.. maybe it was oprah or DR phil, anyway why would you believe he's NOT. but then again it's more than likely that god is south american. and indiginous at that.
ferguzzi Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Well,apparently they now reckon St patrick was Welsh, or possibly french. So I guess God can be from wherever he likes. But I bet he wishes he was Irish!
g.forrest Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 and bagpipes originated in pakistan! the older i get it seems that most of what i learnt was a mistruth.. :huh2 whilst driving through ireland recently tiger woods stopped his mercedes for fuel at a small village, whilst stepping from the car he dropped two tees from his pocket, the elderly attendant asked; what have yer dropped there? tees tiger says! and wat are dey for? for holding my balls to drive says tiger! aye dose mercedes people tink of everyting.
Crooz Posted May 26, 2007 Author Posted May 26, 2007 the older i get it seems that most of what i learnt was a mistruth. Me and you both. And why is this? Because as a child we were taught to belive as our parents did, or as the bulk of those around us did. Was their thinking and beliefs correct? Who knows... but the law of averages would say is was not. Of couse, this is much of the reason we have wars.... I just don't think our creator intended it to be that way. Therein lies the Sin.
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Did it look like this? Heterodon platirhinos Eastern Hog-nosed Snake (some believe it to be one of Gods creations)
