Biker kills Grizzly!!

[jburrell]

This grizzly was hit by a Harley on Lolo Pass. This is the pass between Lolo , MT and Kooskia , ID . .Look at the claws on that sucker!

the biker made it thru three days in the hospital! The hog's a wreck!

lesson learned : Don't go Bear Hunting with a Harley, they don't last but one bear !!!!!!!!!!

Scary. Not only the size of the claws, but simply the idea of running into something of that size. Glad to hear the rider came out alright.

I could not find a news article for the photos above but I did find THIS article at the Calgary Sun's website. There are no photos at the website and the location is different.

 

jburrell, what is your reference? Can you provide a URL?

 

I find those photos at several forums and they say either a bike or a truck killed the bear, but I am skeptical.

Looks like pictures of this one hit by a truck.

Amazing - if a bear can't get a manicure, it will be too slow to get out of the way of moving vehicles..

[jburrell]

I can't verify this happened by bkie or truck as I recieved the photos in an email from another biker.

either way it's a big bear and proves Road Hazards come in many sizes so 'BEWARE" pun intended.

Wow. I'd sure like to actually touch a real bear. Not a living one though.

I remember those photos from a few years ago. A log truck driver was hauling a load and it felt like he hit a bump in the road. Then his truck started running hot so he headed back to town and that's when he saw that he had hit the bear and damaged his radiator.

Bike, Semi....hmmm big difference between them. Usually why I take stories like these with a grain of salt unless they have pictures of the vehicle at the scene...
