about 3 years ago on a fishing trip ,black bear ate 99 percent of my seat on a rebel ,,the seat was only days old and what happen the guy that made the seat had put some type vegetable oil on seat to protect it ..and found out later that bears love vegetable oil , so when i came back up river and saw the bear chewing on my bike i thought it was wise to leave him my 3 fish and the bike i walked about a mile to get help ,,when i returned a hour later the bike was on its side ,the fish was gone and the seat had all but disappeared, quit a meal i must say 3 fish and a motorcycle seat
yesterday took my mb for its first 10 mile fishing trip about a mile down river from where the bear ate my seat 3 years ago ,, my mb may have 100 miles on it so i am still in break in mode so i generally drive it at 15 to 20 mph ,on the way back after catching 2 small fish (trout) the mb not even warm came around a sharp turn and there in the middle of the road a bear and a cub ,thats bad news ,by the time i got the bike stopped i was no more then 50 ft away ,
not sure who was going to move first to get out of the way but when he stood up on his back feet and made some kind of grrrr noise my only escape was my mb ,, the motor still running and wide open i made a u turn in the middle of the road and the chase was on ,,was i worried about break in mode at 15 or 20 mph ,NO. was i worried about the clutch burning out ,NO the motor screaming and me peddling i was only concern about how fast will this thing go ,because i know a bear can go at least 30 ,, surly i can go 31 mph
the road was old pavement all cracked so i had no time to look back to see if the bear was coming ,and that made things worst ,,so for about a mile down the road there was ever kind of a noise and vibration coming from my mb that i never heard before ,everything that was loose fell of including fishing rod ,tackle box worth more then the bike ,and again for the second time in 3 years the fish was gone ,,
when i got back home i call a farmer and told him i was out his way on a bicycle and was concerned about his kids because a bear and a cub was in his area , he told me he was out on his tractor when he saw me go by on a bicycle ,,and i" quote """ you must be in good shape i was sure you were doing 70 mph """what he don"t know i had a motor on my bicycle and a bear chasing me
did the mb save my life i don"t know but i know this was no place for a bicycle without a motor
