Animals and motorcycles don’t usually mix. From deer in the countryside to dogs in residential areas, when animals cross paths with motorcycles, the outcome isn’t usually favorable. And while dogs, deer, and moose are relatively easy to spot when you’re out riding, monkeys pose a whole different threat to riders.
If you’ve been to tropical Asian countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, chances are you’ve encountered wild monkeys on rural streets. These nimble and mischievous creatures are incredibly fast, and able to keep up with small scooters and mopeds on foot. They’re usually on the hunt for snacks and small tidbits to eat, and once they catch sight of something they want, there’s little you can do to stop them.
