Hey, what gives in BC these days? Nelson rally riders beware  Motorcyclist takes photos of wolf chasing him on highway Banff, Alta., man was testing out new motorcycle on Highway 93 in Kootenay National ParkTim Bartlett was testing out his new bike in Kootenay National Park on Saturday when he almost hit a wolf. He swerved and sped away, but then headed back with his camera. By the time he got back to the area where he saw the wolf, it had jumped over a concrete barrier. He thought it was gone. "But as soon as I got to where that was, it jumped back, and the chase was on," said Bartlett.  The wolf crossed a lane of traffic while attempting to catch up to him. "It sort of sped up initially; it gave a real good burst of speed," said Bartlett. "And then after that it just trotted along beside me, but it probably got within three or four metres." Bartlett said he once had a border collie that used to chase bikes, and this kind of felt like the same thing.

That is pretty interesting, John. Last year a motorcycle riding friend was chased by an Elk. Then there's bear and deer although I've never heard of anyone being chased by those kind of critters. That's a pretty amazing picture someone got of that wolf taking chase!!

Maybe the wolf was curious what kind of oil he was running in his bike? Or perhaps he was riding a HD and something rattled off and fell on the road. The wolf may have been trying to return a chromed fastener. Our wolfes in BC are very curious and kind creatures.

Wow...it's been awhile since I posted up in here. Sorry guys...been super busy!
We are now just 21 days out..that's 3 weeks! I am so excited for this event, more so than ever and really nervous all at the same time!
I am just putting the last bits on the preparations then it's all a "god I hope the shipping arrives with no issues" kind of thing combined with "what did I forget?"
Here's hoping it all goes smoothly and accident free!
Any day on my bike is the best day ever! That would be my custom painted 2007 Speedmaster or my 2002 Daytona 955i also known as my salt racing bike!

As long as we're all there, that's what makes it so awesome. All the other things, like the shirts and SWAG and such are great, but it's the people and bikes that make the event. So whatever happens, don't sweat it!

Was just in Nelson today... looking good. The weather is stellar with unencumbered skies. I think we'll have great weather for the Raid 2013.

No problem Bob,
I get released this coming Wednesday, be glad to have the company. It's about 230 miles from Nelson to T. Falls. After crossing the border south of Creston, BC I'd recommend travelling East on US Hwy 2 then south on MT Hwy 56 and East when you hit MT Hwy 200.
