A quick update. I'm currently standing on the side of the road about 2 metres from my scooter, which has been hijacked by a spider. It appeared on my right mirror so I immediately skidded to a halt out the front of this house and ceded the scooter. I've been trying to be less of a sissy when it comes to spiders but this one is unlike any I've seen before. It has really thick legs and more hair than me. I rallied, grabbing a stick to approach it. It backed away behind the mirror for a little while and then leapt from the mirror onto the front bit of the bike, immediately into a combat stance. I retreated. It also did. It was peaking at me from behind the base of the mirror (see the photo). Since I've been writing this it has climbed up the mirror in a show of dominance. My only hope is to attack it from afar or await reinforcements. There is a lady at this house who I'm hoping will come help. Oh shit, it's disappeared! No doubt an ambush has been set.
