maybe its like a queen spider or somethin and all the lil spiders r stayin to worship this bitch
 
My buddy's old prelude had a spider. Every once in a while you'd see it pop out of one vent, scurry across the dash, and disappear into another vent. He was there for years, lol.
 
Why not pour some honey on your bike and when the bike is infested with ants, that will take care of the spider problem...
 
Get a flea collar,cut it into pieces and place it in various places around the bike.I use them to keep spiders out of my travel trailer while I store it.:thumbup
 
Webs are no biggie. It's finding this between the seats in your truck that causes a bit of a scare.

I can't stand spiders at all! Spiders would make me scream like a little girl. I would get a tarp that will completely cover the bike, some bricks to hold it down, and set off a bug bomb. Then wash it really good and keep it covered when I parked it.

? I don't park under trees and I have spider webs on my bike. I think it depends mostly on where you live.

I've been told spider's love drafts (as in the wind, not beer), as a good draft is bound to have a fly or two caught in the slipstream.

If they aren't poisonous, they maybe no big deal. Watch out for the poisonous ones though, I once had a spider bite that resulted in some pretty freaky skin necrosis.

Me too. Docs think it was a brown recluse. Only took about a day and a half for the cellulitis to spread to the size of a football on my thigh. I have a nickel sized scar where the necrosis was.
 
Maybe this is a golden opportunity. Maybe we can breed a new kind of arachnid that lives exclusively on motorcycle frames. Once we get it recognized as a new species (and fashion tiny helmets) we can get the enviro-hippies to support motorcycling. After all, loosing motorcycles would mean the extinction of this valuable creature! :thumbup

Then I will start training them to change my oil.

I am picturing spiders swarming all over my bike to do service, regular maintenance, etc. Thinking, damn that would be cool. Then I remembered- nanobots. It will happen one day.

I like the way your brain thinks. :thumbup
 
I just take 'em for a ride, but I do like the flea collar idea.
 
dude the dead spider in the speedo reminds me of "Alien". If you ever see one that's the size of your palm, might wanna cover your face and run. :laughing

Bite happened in CA? Territory maps show there are no brown recluse in CA; or at least there weren't.
