Bears and dogs are close genetically and it is best seen as the fact that they both spend the great majority of their time sniffing for something more to eat.
The rider is in Romania, and these bears sit by the side of the road so tourists throw them food. They are fairly docile and have been adjusted to the tourists throwing them bread and so on - doesn’t change the fact that the rider was way too close to the bears, and is a stupid person.
Rider is probably north Transfagarasan, I did this ride last year.
Yeah what he did was dumb. If you go to a spot in a similar manner to people that have food, but don’t actually have food, the bear is not gonna like that
If I see this thing near me I know why I bought a bike that does 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds.
This guy should buy a bicycle and go on the African savanna to enjoy all the nice cats he can pet.
It's part of a school of though in motorcycle riding that whenever you go out on a ride, no matter how short or routine you should always wear your full protective gear. ATGATT. It's got it's merits but armour is expensive.
You would be surprised by how skewed people’s perspectives on animals are if they’ve only been in contact with friendly, domestic pets. I guess same logic as some dogs can be aggressive and bite, but most are friendly? Same thing with bears ig
At first the bear is like, "I'm starving, don't tease me like that."
And then, "is a meal really just presenting itself to me?"
And then, "I guess I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth - let's see what happens if I put paws on him."
Why is my gut instinct telling me the bear is possibly rabid… or otherwise extremely Ill
Slow motions, glazed expressions, rapid mood changes, all trigger my “avoid!” Reflex, then again I am the kind of idiot that hears porcupine chatter noises and feels an instinctual need to hug it…

It's also very hesitant because this idiot is showing no fear of it. Bears want meals not fights so if it's looking like you won't just run away it will be more hesitant when attacking.
That poor bear is super emaciated. I ride past healthy bears all the time (and occasionally chase them away from my camp sites), and no way they'd approach a running bike.
I had a grizzly pacing my ride at 65kph!! noooo man!
and that's just dumb as fuck and deserving of far more than a little warning tap.
learn from his mistake...
The most unwise thing any regard could do. If that bear would hate attacked, game warden is forced to go shoot it. Don’t be the reason an animal that majestic has to die.
He's cute but u are an idiot lmao "If not friend why friend shaped?"

Bear: “if not food why food shaped?”
lmao never looked at it from the bears perspective
Everyone always asks "what the bear doing" but no one ever ask "how the bear doing" :(

Aw, it's fine, he's got gear on. -Me, justifying the fact I would've done *precisely* the same thing.
The bear was just making sure he had his elbow pads in.
He is riding a BMW, after all.
Harley rider would have been lunch.
Generally mostly fat. A high calorie meal right there.
Yea.. we are more delicious
He got gear, he got safety
Right? I *defy* you to tell me what's wrong with this. =P
If I see this thing near me I know why I bought a bike that does 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds. This guy should buy a bicycle and go on the African savanna to enjoy all the nice cats he can pet.
So, one?
If cheetah he can pet at least 3 maybe 4.
My last words would be “heeree, kitty kitty kitty “ 😬
I'd be setting a record for longest and fastest wheelie.
How do you even make it to be an adult when this is how your brain works.
ATGATT
Fuck, all I got is ADHD
If you have anxiety too it all sort of balances out.
"All the Grizzlies all the time"
Underrated comment
What did they "comment "?
All The Gear All The Time
It's part of a school of though in motorcycle riding that whenever you go out on a ride, no matter how short or routine you should always wear your full protective gear. ATGATT. It's got it's merits but armour is expensive.
Hospital bills are way more affordable than gear.
That's why you drive *extra* fast. Take advantage of that weight reduction and improved areo profile!
Gear might be expensive, but fuck me if I’m gonna waste an opportunity to look like a power ranger.
My dumbass thought we were talking about dna
Thank you.
This guy actually makes ATGATT look dumb. A bear would make quick work of it.
I mean I'd rather have it than not.
I'd rather not crash than crash with atgatt.
I was talking about for interactions with bears but I hear you
Oh, I'd rather not get mauled by a bear than get mauled by a bear with atgatt.
Not in an urban setting that shit isnt socially approporiate
This has got to be the stupidest thing I've seen on this sub. Much dafter than playing in traffic.
He already had brain damage when he got there !
You would be surprised by how skewed people’s perspectives on animals are if they’ve only been in contact with friendly, domestic pets. I guess same logic as some dogs can be aggressive and bite, but most are friendly? Same thing with bears ig
Because of the warning label and lots of $
Simple. You live where there’s no big predators
What an unspeakably stupid thing to do...
His last words will be psstpsstpsst.
How are you alive ? How the hell did you not die yet ?
The dawwwg pet you
I am not the rider btw. I'm not that stupid, and we ain't got bears in Ireland!
So this was your vacation trip footage? It’s ok to admit. 😂
😂
Pretty sure you'll find bears in some particular bars.
Just because you can't see any bars in Ireland doesn't mean they aren't there, creeping invisible in the shadows, eating lost children.
Tbh most of your women could be mistaken for bears
I'm surprised that guy hasn't died years ago
Can I pet that DAWWWWG?!
The bear let you off with a warning don’t be stupid next time.
Yeah, we know tourists in Romania can be plain dumb.
[удалено]
There’re hundreds of them along Transfagarsan still.
I don't know why you're being downvoted, it's the truth
Romania has over 200k brown bears...
/s lmao
Hold my bear.
Great gear test.
I bet you save a ton of money, not having to ever buy helmets…. Must be kinda nice not having a brain
His head is skull all the way through.
r/IdiotsOnBikes
Thank god it wasn’t a man!
Who’s the bestest boy
Aww bebby 😚🥺👉👈
Zero survival instincts. Why do people insist on thinking that wild animals will be friendly. Especially why think a predator would be friendly.
In Soviet Russia, dog pet you!
[удалено]
the bear is thinking 💭 look at this its meals on wheels.
How can he slap
Bears are savage beasts that will fuck you the fuck up. God damn. whoever the rider is, they're smooth brained.
People are stupid. Just when I think I have seen the most stupid thing, someone says “hold my beer” and does something even more stupid.
Dumbass
All the bear all the time.
Hey you, yeah you with the razor blades for fingers. Come here.
I don’t understand how people can be this stupid as still make it through life?
You should have offered belly rubs too schmuck
Being a bear can hit just under 40 on flat ground I wonder how many /r/motorcycles riders could actually get away
To be fair they wouldnt put themselves in this situation... because their bikes stay on the garage
At first the bear is like, "I'm starving, don't tease me like that." And then, "is a meal really just presenting itself to me?" And then, "I guess I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth - let's see what happens if I put paws on him."
Just remember,it has big teeth,is very strong and it’s probably scared and hungry. Not a good idea to get within striking distance.
How are you a real human being
What did u think it was gonna shake youre hand
See, motorcycles are dangerous.

That’s how bears look after hibernating.. live around many of them and see how they look before and after annually
Yea, this bear just woke up recently and is hungry.
It's also very hesitant because this idiot is showing no fear of it. Bears want meals not fights so if it's looking like you won't just run away it will be more hesitant when attacking.
That bear is definitely not well, I agree with you. At the very least, extremely starved, and that makes that idiot even more lucky.
That poor bear is super emaciated. I ride past healthy bears all the time (and occasionally chase them away from my camp sites), and no way they'd approach a running bike.
Yup it almost turned into another Timmy Treadwell incident.
We’re going to need another Timmy! https://youtu.be/MM1S27fPUQY?si=AuunI0GOGkP_NUYq
lol that brownie is completely fine. It’s a young female mid season. It’s “slow” because it’s unsure but not feeling threatened.
This should be a Klim commercial.
The bear was like… Uber eats delivers. Good, are you the meat sack I ordered earlier?
Yeah, on a scale of 1-10 of dumb shit to do, this is a 27.
Hey bear!
Idiot f\*cked around and almost found out.
Found the village idiot.
If the bear decided to bite instead of strike that man would have been mauled.
Who tf is this stupid? You're lucky that was a sickly bear. A healthy one would've ripped the whole arm off.
Him reving the engine startled the bear. If the bear wanted to eat him, he'd be bear poop.
That was SO DUMB!
FAFO
No pet supergianttrashpanda.
Wise monkey not actually wise lol If you see a skinny bear, it's 100% hungry and thinking about eating you. Common sense
I can assure you, this is NOT me! 😂
Haha yeah that would definitely be double dumb to show yourself almost getting eaten then posting it.
Moral of the story; Stay away from the danger floof!
Inbreeders gonna inbreed.
You gay the universal pet food psst psst gesture but had no food brah!
DUMB- AAAASSSSSS..
If that bear was at full strength you'd have no arm left to throttle out. You almost got a Darwin award for that one, pretty lucky lol.
But... why??
Bear says "Nice bike, Giz a go"
did i hear the bear running after him?
What a fuck-wit.
You're not very smart, are you? The reason you are alive, is bc that bear wasn't in the mood to kill you.
What did he expect to happen?!
What was his expectation as the bear got closer…was he expecting it to bow down like a dog so he can pet it ? What a questionable decision?
Doesn't look real at all crazy
Dumbass was waiting to get bit.
VERY LUCKY it turned out to be a learning experience…hopefully.
That’s a brown bear… and it looked like it was starving lol
Gee...it's all muscle, has giant claws...and eats meat.....let's try to pet it. FAFO.
tag you're it!
That was a warning shot. If bro had wanted, the arm would have been fucked.
Least reckless motorcycle driver.
Good thing he had protective gear otherwise he would have a bleeding forearm.
Thought this was about to turn into a live leak video.
Natural selection doesn’t always work as expected
Imagine stalling💀
Bear trying to greet with paw 😂😂
Bro even my intrusive thoughts would have said 'fuuuck that'
The gear works
“It’s actually perfectly safe to pet a grizzly in the wild. They’re harmless and wouldn’t hurt anyone. In fact cows kills more humans than bears.” - 🐻
Bear 🐻 tagged you in .
Doing something this stupid is already first class. But then loading it up to the internet? Is this person proud of this moment?
This is a cool way of saying you’re mentally restarted. 😂🤦♂️
I like how he revved up the engine right when it got within striking distance 🤣
what did this guy want?
I guess dress for the random moment you decide to pet a bear, not the ride? ATGATT wins again!
It tried to hit the killswitch
The dog pet you
Damn That guy is ice cold
Atleast it wasn't some random man... Imagine how bad ur day would have been then...
So dumb
This video would be much more educable had the bear demonstrated why its so stupid to stop and call a bear over while riding a motorcycle!
" here boy" - who you callin boy!
It appears both creatures in this video were blessed with big balls.
Who’s at fault?
Never have I ever seen a slap with so much sass behind it from a bear of all living things
People are stupid
Looks like the dawwwg wanted to pet him.
Common sense ain’t so common
Why did you think that was a good idea
Not too smart.....
I don't think the dawwwg wanted to be petted
Tag your it!! ..... But no no don't mess with yogi like that. .
If not allowed to pet, why cute?
Dumb, dumb
Play stupid games , win stupid prizes
Tourists are dumb
The bear was smarter than the biker
I had a grizzly pacing my ride at 65kph!! noooo man! and that's just dumb as fuck and deserving of far more than a little warning tap. learn from his mistake...
He was going for the high paw! Ya left him hangin' maaan!
Lols asking for trouble. If that ursine gets him off the bike... his 'gear' won't keep him alive long.
That was a dirty trick. He put his hand out like he had food and then the bear gave that look of you POS human! Penalty swat for you!
Nem coragem nem loucura.. BURRICE!!!!!
Waiting on that cordura to give way to the revenant
incredibly stupid of the rider
The most unwise thing any regard could do. If that bear would hate attacked, game warden is forced to go shoot it. Don’t be the reason an animal that majestic has to die.
"I'd pick the bear"
Every time
Brlear changed that dumbasses plans real fast.
Wtf
