Grizzly Huge Grizzly
I would've liked to see the expression on the bikers face just before impact!!
Can you believe a motorcycle killed this HUGE GRIZZLY?
This grizzly was hit by a Harley on Lolo Pass. This is the pass between Lolo, MT and Kooskia, ID.
Lolo Pass, elevation 5,233 feet (1,595 m), is a mountain pass in the northern Rocky Mountains on the border between the U.S. states of Montana and Idaho approximately 25 miles (40 km) west-southwest of Missoula, Montana.
It is famous as the location where the Lewis and Clark Expedition crossed the summit of the Bitteroot Range via the Lolo Trail on their outward and return journeys in 1805–06.
Look at the claws on that sucker!


The biker spent 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 hunt!!!!!!!!!!

That's a shame. Magnificent animal (the grizzly).
Bear does not taste like chicken!
 
What the hell was a biker doing on Lolo pass this time of year? I wouldn't want to ride a motorcycle over that pass any time of year, especially the Idaho side. It's slow and windy, with lots of semi traffic.
 
That bear obviously hasn't been doing much digging. Look at those claws. I'd love to see the bike...and the biker.

"That morning, at about 3:45, a logger driving a big Dodge diesel en route to Missoula hit something, but he wasn’t sure what, and he kept going. But a few miles later, after realizing his radiator was shot, he thought it best to turn around. He arrived back at a massive male grizzly dead in a ditch."

Dodge truck 1, Grizzly 0.

Magnificeint animal. Not that I'd want it cruising my back back yard though.
 
I agree! "Oops, my radiator is leaking maybe I better turn around and go back a couple of miles to see what that huge thing was that I hit square in the front of my truck?!?!" WTF?!?!

Also, it would then be put in the back of MY truck to be made into a rug, and the meat donated to a local food bank!!!
 
I was going to say drugs but picking a specific one, just narrows it all down.
 
I dont know. A big dodge logging truck could almost clear a bear on all fours. And the radiator could get damaged from the bottom. I wouldnt doubt they hit big deer often.Big Dodge like mine only lifted some with big bumpers I could see it happening.

Narrow, windy, mountainous, forested stretch of two lane highway that winds along a river. It was early morning, and dark. He's probably used to hitting deer along there fairly frequently, and thought it was probably that. The bears run on all fours, are dark, and are actually much harder to see than a deer.

I grew up near there, and have had bears run out into the highway several times. They seem to always run away from the traffic, down the road, instead of getting off the road. You don't get to see the reflectiveness of their eyes, like you would with a deer.

He probably hit it with a brushguard and deflected it off the road, and didn't think much of it until he started overheating.
