Whatever happens, don't let it affect your control of the motorcycle . Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the handlebars. As soon as it is safe, pull of the road and repair the damage. Naturally, you should do everything you can to avoid hitting an animal. However, if you are in traffic, don't swerve out of your lane to avoid a small animal.
Motorcycles tend to attract dogs.
If you find yourself being chased, don't kick at the animal. It's too easy to lose control of the motorcycle. Instead, shift down and approach the animal slowly. As you reach it, speed up quickly. You will leave the animal behind.
