The Best of Harley-Davidson for Lifelong Riders
Got to answer an age old question,,,lol
Can a Harley sitting still engine running out run a charging 2000 pound Bison/Buffalo from about 30 feet????????????/
Answer - Just barely - with the wife hitting my back yelling FASTER<FASTER??
We were in Custer Park and just came around a corner and I saw a really nice BIG Bison walking up to a creek to get a drink - I agree now he was just too close to the road... Wife said, Don't stop, he is too close... What the hell do women know about these things????lol Anyway, I pulled over, left engine running and pulled out the camera,,, got the shot but just as I took the pic,,, he turned and looked right at me... I then relized, I just may be pissing him off.. Put the camera away and just as I put the bike in gear (I was watching him) he dropped his head and charged us from the right.... I pulled away with him right on my ***.. Let me tell you, they can run fast as hell for a short distance...lol..
I have seen lots of Bison in Yellow Stone and on this trip... This is the fist I have seen that dropped his head and charged.... I learned my lesson... Keep your distance... This all turned out fine and we had a good laugh after I pulled my underwear out of my butt.... Had I been just a moment slower, it would have NOT been a pretty picture...
Here he is just before he got pissed....
