Biker gets surprise visit from 250 km/h snake

Take a close look at the image above. Yes, it's a motorcyclist, riding an orange motorcycle. Take a gander at the speedometer, and you'll see he's doing about 250 kilometers per hour (about 155 miles per hour).

But wait – what's that yellow thing surrounding the digital speedometer? It looks like... yep, that's a snake all right. The how and why of it got there we don't know. Probably trying to warm itself on the bike's engine, we guess.

In any case, we suggest you watch the video to see how a calm, level-headed Brazilian biker might react to such a situation. Well, calm for sure. We're not so sure anyone who'd willingly ride a motorcycle at insane speed on public roads, passing fellow bikers in the face of oncoming traffic could be called level headed. If you can make out the Portuguese translation, these riders are all rightfully shocked by what they see.
