Alpo Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 What's wrong with riding with no hands? I used to do that all the time. I still would if I still could, but 40 years or so of not riding a bike and I seem to have forgotten how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 There's an old saying "don't poke the bear" if you don't want trouble. Seems like a better version, maybe something like "stay way away from the bear, dumbass." I lived in bear country several times in my life. I love bears, but I don't get too close to them because they are nearly indestructible, faster by far than they look, temperamental and unpredictable, and deadly.....and they are NEVER completely tame. I have been lucky to have had only one close encounter with a bear, a female black bear and after thirty-five foot face to face staring contest I think she decided I simply was not worth her trouble. Good thing, too because I was fully armed with 3" Buck pocket knife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
