When i was young, there was a grouse that would chase us on a small dirt bike while riding in the woods by the house. The bike was a Honda XR 75. I believe it was spring time or early summer. When you would stop the bike it would walk up to within a few feet of you.


I think the grouse was confused by the sound of the engine. It was loud and had a thump, thump, thump sound to it. The grouse must have thought it was another grouse drumming or something.


It was kinda cool having that thing run up to you out on the trail like that.
