The title really sums it up quite well: last week a motorcyclist in Canada was riding along, when a black bear cub came dashing across the road, and into the man’s path. Police say the motorcyclist was attempting to perform a stunt of some kind and was too busy looking at his speedometer before noticing the bear. The rest you can see in the video below.

Fortunately, neither party was seriously harmed, though the motorcyclist will certainly have an assortment of scrapes, scratches, bumps and bruises to deal with. That and a broken motorcycle.

Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. 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.
