As fun as riding a bike like the Ducati Hypermotard 796 on mountain roads may be, it looks like this bike is not at all safe from encounters with wildlife.

Birds and ground animals alike can cause a heap of trouble as they cross paths with riders, and this video shows juts how easy it is to come off the bike in such conditions.

Now, with all respect for wildlife, in such scenarios, grabbing the bars firmly and riding straight forward is almost always the best thing to do, as it offers the best chances to remain rubber side down.

Even though instincts dictate braking hard as such an obstacle is encountered, the best thing to do is not adding more weight on the front wheel by braking hard, and trying to ride straight.

This might not be the best choice for the poor being crossing the road, but it definitely is the safest action for the rider.
