Biker gets sprayed by a skunk

This rider is lucky he had his visor down

In the age-old predicament between fight and flight, skunks chose the former.

Although you can't help but wonder how effective a spray of pungent oily liquid would be against a speeding motorcycle...

Nonetheless, this feisty creature decided to stand his ground and spray - with surprisingly good aim, hitting the motorcyclist square on. 

While it is unclear from the video what became of the skunk, we bet the biker had a nasty clean up job.
