Default Black widows in my bike! YIKES!

For weeks and weeks now, I’ve had a spider making a web on my bike when I parked the bike. I’d knock the web down and within a day or so it would be back. Mothballs did not stop it. It even rode to Colorado and back and the web was back the minute I parked the bike. I had found webs in the battery box one other time and cleaned them out, but this time when I opened it I found a dead black spider. Then I saw a large, live black spider. Out came the bug spray. As I suspected, it was definitely a black widow. Man am I lucky that I didn’t get bitten in the butt…literally! I’m going to spray the bike underneath and let it sit for awhile and pray it doesn’t hurt the paint

Black Widow in a Harley... At least it's got good taste. Glad to hear she didn't try to see if you tasted good

Just call in Spider Man to remove that black spider. No, wait.... I think he's busy making another movie.

does your bike run any differently since? Maybe he was eating gremlins too?

All the more reason tolive in a nice, cool northern climate where the bug's have a shorter growing season!

I don't think I'd even want to SEE one of those creepy crawlies!

OCC made a bike called the black widow(it was actually the only bike that ive seen of of theirs that i liked) now yours is the black widow bike(and much better quality)..and it sounds like it was definitly a black widow on your bike if you found 1 dead and 1 alive..she used the poor guy for sex then killed him when he was done..thank God ive never found a women that does that!!!

I think now it's only right and fitting that your repaint your bike to 'Black Widow Black' and have a custom, red hourglass painted down the middle of the tank, and cool, red "Black Widow" letterings done on it in a couple of places, with a few painted spider webs here and there as well.

Then, who knows, you may have just started a new line of Sporties for the chicks.

I could definitelysee a chick pulling up on one, wearing stilletos and tight leathers, taking off her helmet and shaking her hair down... yum...
