CRAP what is in there?? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

ZukiChaos · 08-21-2006, 08:39 PM

After I put the Vance & Hines SS pipes on my C50 I left my OEM exhaust outside sitting by my garage. It's been about 2 months. Now there's a smelly dead mouse wrapped up in webbing hanging out of one of the pipes. Do you think there's a snake or other critter LIVING in there??

Anyone else lazy like me and just left your old pipes outside only to become a morgue (or habitat)?

If there's webbing, there definitely something in there. But what I don't know...

**Clint** · 08-21-2006, 09:05 PM

Probably a large spider. Snakes don't spin webs.

Atlas68 · 08-21-2006, 09:25 PM

Put em up on ebay anyway. If a clean set goes for $150, some eccentric tree hugger may pay top dollar for a custom chrome habitat.

LOL! "Guaranteed not to blue for the life of the spider".

If a spider has killed a mouse...........I wont be getting anywhere near that thing.

Heck, I might be his next meal.

What kind of spiders do you have up there in PA ?????

sunny · 08-22-2006, 09:25 AM

very large ones, apparently.

Kaikias · 08-22-2006, 09:38 AM

I have been looking on the web and have yet to find anything spider big enough in Pa to kill a mouse.

The largers spider in your area is the Wolf which is around 22-35 mm in length

Smurf · 08-22-2006, 09:43 AM

Well you got one bud.....better get the shotgun!!!!

Apertureguy · 08-22-2006, 09:50 AM

Since you don't need the pipes any longer...maybe you could run them over with the car before you try to pick them up?

Or...just get yourself a can of hairspray & a Bic lighter. Nothing cleans as well as a homemade flamethrower.

**inspiron** · 08-22-2006, 10:10 AM

Why not just mount them up on the bike and take it for a spin? There isn't an insect on this planet that would survive 15 minutes inside the exhaust system of a bike.

Smurf · 08-22-2006, 10:11 AM

I Wouldn't Pick Them Up...much Less Put Them On !!!!

Ext1jdh · 08-22-2006, 10:13 AM

what if its not from this planet, Inspiron? What if its some craxy alien space spider come to eat our young and defile our women?

Jeez, I'm in the wrong thread again arent I.....

Smurf · 08-22-2006, 10:14 AM

I know...they want to stampede our women and rape our cattle.

geoffsimpson · 08-22-2006, 01:33 PM

...anybody seen the movie critters, critters 2, critters 3 through 11?

Smurf · 08-22-2006, 01:40 PM

I suffer from Arachnophobia, just the word "Spider" sends chills down my spine.

Apertureguy · 08-22-2006, 01:52 PM

I was so afraid of Spiders as a kid...I used to feed them ants and other insects in the hopes they would be nice to me.

Now, I amaze my kids by petting them on occasion...just to watch them squirm (the kids).
