So not only do they chase you on foot they lie in wait for passing bikers too... you guys are really brave!!!

I'd rather hit 100 snakes than one of these overgrown rats.

Horrible place that Australia, the number of times I've nearly been killed by snakes, spiders , jellyfish, sharks, drop bears ....
Thats why after 32 years I returned to the UK, I just hoping I can survive another winter.

They just don't like Hardley riders, which is fair enough

Bit to many for my liking these days times have changed, used to be all sports bikes. Seeing too many of them new Kawasaki's as well.

There was a guy in a LandCruiser up on Cape York many years ago. he was driving along resting his arm on the open windowsill.
As you do.

He ran over snake, which flicked up and it's fangs spiked his arm - envenomating him. Sadly it was fatal.
But that's not 'Australia' that's "damned unlucky".

Typically I'm not killed more than 3 or 4 times a week by our domestic wildlife.


I find land sharks to be quite dangerous...

Saw that on the news last night, I might have done a bit of speeding if it was me as well.

I've run over a few snakes over many many years of riding. The one thing that scared me most though was a 6 foot Goanna on the side of the road and he didn't run out in front of me luckily. That would have been a disaster. 

[grog]

GSX, goanna not good. I had worse on Cooktown road, We were moving along, bloody great huge pig came running, nothing i could do, he just stopped on edge of road. I reckon loud exhaust on Rocket saved me that day.

Don't have to travel that far. Just bring a bit of stupidity with you:

A bite by this viper is not life-threatening for a healthy adult but in this case it apparently was.

[MarkN]

I'm more surprised by the fact that this muppet has reached the age stated in the article. What a twat
