Rolling thru the Ocala Forest on 314 we came over a rise and there standing motionless for about 5 or 6 seconds was a BIG bear. I honestly thought it was a cutout sign at first because 1.it hadn't moved and 2. it was 5 feet tall at the back, and 3. it was standing just like on the bear signs. I slowed quickly once it moved and I wasn't sure if it was crossing or turning to run. It came up with a mouth full of roadkill and calmly watched Thomas and I slide by on our stock Valkyrie exhausts but when my buddies V rod got close it must have bothered his ears and he turned into the woods.. V rods make good bear repellent. We all stopped in Salt Springs to share that was the biggest bear we had all ever seen. Title: Re: The Dam Diner tmrw 10/16 @ 9:30 Post by: OLDFRT on October 17, 2021, 02:07:43 PM Glad you all had a good ride, and a good meal. Roxie and I rode to Bryson City, NC yesterday. We are dog sitting for Big Mike for a few days, and hoping to get in a couple of decent rides while they are gone, and after they return. Saturday we head South, and spend a couple of nights and a day with my younger son and his wife and the the Grand Kids. looking forward to a few more Valk gatherings, now that it has started to cool off a little. We will be attending the postponed "Tally Rally" next month.

That was definitely an interesting ride and I am sure it was a conversation topic during breakfast. Only thing missing/better would be selfies with you and the bear :evil: Title: Re: The Dam Diner tmrw 10/16 @ 9:30 Post by: Bronxboy on October 17, 2021, 07:22:43 PM I passed that Dam diner going to Berts house

They do get aggressive and very protectiive. :police: Sounds like a very neat place. Maybe get that way when i retire. It'd be a nice destination perhaps. :coolsmiley:
Title: Re: The Dam Diner tmrw 10/16 @ 9:30 Post by: Squirrel on October 19, 2021, 02:46:10 PM I wish I would have known about this ride earlier. I'm sure I would have enjoyed it better than my day at Daytona Biketoberfest. Maybe another time.

We decided to avoid Daytona and glad we did. Don't see big bears like that! Around here often. Was definitely way better than walking a bike down main street Daytona Beach hahaha
