Hunting rattlers...
07/22/15 at 11:28:56

Just pulled my seat and tank to locate a rattle that's been happening under the tank.
Not the usual suspect (speedo) because it stops when I touch the tank, anywhere...
Didn't find it, of course... there's a lot of little things under there that could be touching anything.
So,.. I just wiggled them all a bit, and put it all back together...
Hope for the best...

That's the shotgun approach...
Just spray and hope you hit something...

If so, you should be able to isolate. If not, you are at least to looking for things that are touching the tank, and not each other.

Reply #8 - 07/24/15 at 05:01:25 A friend of mine who lives out in the country found a snake skin under his sink. The snake was apparently eating the mice in his home. He said out loud to no one in particular, "you're ok as long as I don't ever see you, but the first time you make me hurt myself, you're dead!"

I once had an encounter when I was a wee lad, a king snake was coming up the driveway and I was going down... he was taller then me... I went the other way.

Ever seen a coach whip? I saw about a seven footer , coming right at me, but I was in a chair and too close to the table for real gymnastics. It came from the woods, under the house and was making tracks, very skinny tracks, as it headed to the woods behind me. I spotted him about fifteen feet off, maybe less, and knew what it was and decided I'd grab it. Darn thing went by so fast that I couldn't even touch it. My hand hit the ground but his tail was almost a foot away. I woulda kept that.

I was out riding one afternoon in my usual backwoods, middle-of-nowhere spot and saw a coiled up water hose lying in the road. I made a mental note to swerve around it thinking that it fell off somebody's work truck. As I got closer the hose unwound and slithered across the road. It stretched from one side of the road to the other, probably 8 feet or so.

People say they are probably more scared of you than you are of them. I don't think so! I'm glad Suzuki built this bike fast enough to outrun snakes! Cheesy

First trip to AZ, (AJO), took me a day,
to find the coffee spot the ‘old farts’ gathered in the morning.

Next day, I knew some of them.
3rd day, walked in, a local asked me what I was gonna do today,
Told him, another drive in the desert.
He told me, watch out for them, ‘rattlers’,
I told him, Yea, if they get close, I’ll have my .45 Colt, with Bird shot on me.

A Canadian, yuppie, couple, was their that day,
she said: “You Can’t shoot Rattlesnakes, their endangered”

I said, A-Yep, one gets to close to me, it sure, is in danger.

The Locales laughed, she was mortified.

Apparently, she missed seeing the 8’ R.S. Skin, over the top of the door!
