Hit my first 'animal' a few days ago.

I was exploring a single lane back-road, it only went a couple miles before turning into a dirt road, so I turned around. About halfway back I came upon a rattlesnake writhing in the middle of the road. Its head and rattle were lying a couple feet from the body. There was no other traffic on the road, so I must have hit it, but never saw it until returning.

Not a bad idea! With all the road-kill rattlers I see here in the summer. A rattlesnake belt isn't my style, but a rattle key fob would be cool.

With my waist, it would take an awfully big rattler to make a belt that would fit.

There is a little town here in west Texas that has its annual rattlesnake days, where you can get a taste of cooked rattlesnake. I never tried it.

A couple of years ago while driving in the dark on the tree lined road leading into the development where we live. I ran over an alligator in the middle of the road. He was at least 8-10" long and I never saw him in the dark 'till just before I went over him. Luckily we were in my wife's car at the time, a VW Golf, not on my bike.
