Watch As Motorcyclist Gets Chased By Elk – Video
Apparently, elks aren’t too keen on motorcyclists, as the video below demonstrates. This couple, aboard what sounds like a Harley-Davidson (that potato-potato exhaust note is unmistakeable), were riding along in Missoula, Montana when this elk decided he wanted to take the road for himself.
As traffic slowed and eventually passed, the elk took a growing interest in the couple on the motorcycle, approaching them. Not wanting to be on the wrong end of some antlers, the man piloting the bike took off. Undeterred, their new four-legged friend came chasing after them. Thankfully, the 60-odd horses of the bike were enough to outrun the elk, but the experience must have been a little scary.
Check out the video below to see just how close this couple got to the local wildlife. Warning: due to the adult language in the video, it may not be suitable for children.

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
