Found this one in the wild posted by a visitor to the event. Wish this guy could have found a ride into the sky.

I droved 650 km my motorcycle from Kamloops to Sandpoint in Idaho. The roads were perfect through beautiful mountain valleys. I wanted to see some other trikes in real life and not just from YouTube. I staid 2 nights, but only one day at the one week long event. I was very impressed with attendance, variety of designs. shapes and beauty of the private grass strip area. I was hoping to get some ride, but no luck.
I chose different road to go back up to Nakusp, BC. I drove several hours in very hot and unpleasant weather (36 C), which felt like hair dryer on high setting blowing into my face. After some rest and exploring, I turned back towards 450 km ride home. Just about 60 km south of Nakusp I collided with a bear and messed up my one year old BMW C650 GT scooter. The impact did not feel like too much for me, but the young bear was knocked down. No blood just the front end damaged. My bike was towed back to Nakusp and the next morning we were towed to Kelowna BMW dealer. I continued then by bus home. Overall it was very nice trip except the end.

    Yea, what a freak thing to happen! Sounds like a trike fan. Anyone in BC know this fella? He needs a trike flight for sure. Watch out for flying bears!

    Holy cow! Quite the adventure. Deer impacts are very serious out my way. I've had three happen right beside me. On two wheels it's often lethal.
