SaltyDawg Posted July 30, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 30, 2008 WATERBURY, Vt. — A Hinesburg man is recovering from broken bones after he hit a bear while riding a motorcycle on Vermont Route 100 in Waterbury. The state police says that 52-year-old Neale Gow was southbound on Route 100 at about 6 p.m. Sunday when the bear moved into the road on front of him. Gow was thrown from his motorcycle. He was hospitalized with broken bones. There is no word on the condition of the bear. Good thing the bear didn't stick around. I have had my close encounter with a bear while riding my scoot.

sarges46 Posted July 30, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2008 Gets them mad when you hit em! Had one run in front of me on our way to Kitchener...but the beast was far enough away that gentle braking was all that was required....that and a very wide cut line from the highway to the bush.....made it easy to see it early.
