Aside from safety gear (a CVTC motorcycle safety instructor)  says there is one thing people can practice that will help them avoid crashing into animals, like the northern Wisconsin man who died this weekend after crashing into a turkey.

“The one thing I do wish people would do is practice their stopping skills on their motorcycle. Stopping a motorcycle involves hands and feet, and it’s not the easiest thing to stop properly so it takes practice,” he says.

Massey says when you’re driving a motorcycle you should be constantly scanning for animals, and if you see one start slowing down immediately, because animals can be unpredictable.
