Ever imagined what it would be like to be chased by a dangerous animal on a motorcycle? Well, Tim Bartlett found out while joy riding his new bike on Hwy 93 in Canada when he almost hit a lone wolf on the highway.

Apparently Tim almost hit the wolf while riding in Kootenay National Park on Saturday, and returned to the scene where the wolf had appeared. At that point the animal jumped back over the concrete barrier, crossed a lane of traffic, and began the chase that lasted just over a half mile (about a kilometer).

Information on how to help get the Oregon lane splitting / sharing bill passed behind the link.

Lane splitting and sharing… the debate resurfaces.  This Oregon bill basically gives us the same rights as bicyclists who “filter” through traffic at slow speeds. In a nutshell it says that we may pass between two lanes of traffic or cars if the cars are going less than 10mph and the motorcyclist is going 20mph or less.  Pertinent reading material: Lane Splitting via WikiPedia FAQs for Motorcycles via Portland Bureau of Transportation Why Lane Splitting is Awesome via Hell for Leather How to Lane Split via Hell for Leather Study Proves Drivers Are Out to Kill Motorcyclists via Jalopnik Thoughts?

Awww! Look at those “mean biker types” bein’ all lovey. Warms my little heart. I’m serious though, I really adore this photo. What does it mean to be a motorcyclist? It means you’ve always got people looking out for you… and so much more.

Jessica Maine mid-stunt. Girls… motorcycles… girls that can ride the hell out of motorcycles. WINNING.  My bad- sometimes the internet leads you astray. This is actually stunt rider Angela Bogdanova, not Jessica Maine. Thanks to LeahStunts for the correction!
