Nanuq Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I was coming down the mountain in the Red Rover, I have the top off for the summer. Turned onto the paved 2-lane road and was just getting up to speed going maybe 30mph. A huge brown bear was in the grass beside the road and I didn't see him until he leaped up and matched my speed, in maybe 2 strides. He was running along maybe 20' away looking over at me, big as a building. I gassed it to speed up a little and he did too, then started coming across the road toward me. I thought "uh oh" then he slowed down a little and went right behind the Rover, then slowed down to a walk on the right shoulder. Dayum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 I'll take a tie up at the GW bridge, safer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt.watch.obsessive Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I've experienced similar with buffalo to within about 4 feet, but that's an insurance claim at worst 😉. I always worry about people on motorcycles. A man plus a Harley is roughly buffalo sized, and they go after them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
