oldwomanc6 52 #3 August 23, 2013 It sounds like another Go-Pro statistic. Someone who wanted to shoot some "cool" footage of what they thought was important (in this case, the speed of their awesome coolness) instead of paying attention to business. That being said, wildlife can and will try to commit murder/ suicide if you are distracted for even a fraction of the time this guy was. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorrinRadd 0 #6 August 23, 2013 Moose seem especially keen on these kamikaze missions. Except usually the moose walks away a little stunned, and you have to pay to get your airbag reinstalled. You drive through some of the parks (Provincial/national), you have to drive fairly slowly... you never know which corner a ton and a half of bull moose might be hiding behind.Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Andy9o8 2 #7 August 23, 2013 Lucky for the driver this was in Canada. If it was in the US, the bear would have called me by now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cashflow 0 #8 August 24, 2013 Happened to me (even had a gopro mounted to my tank) last year, except it was a fawn and I wasn't speeding. I managed to swerve enough so that it only tagged my foot and back wheel though. I looked back and it scampered off into the brush so I just kept riding.
