What should a motorcyclist do if an aggressive dog charges and attempts to bite at the motorcycle while riding on a rural street?

1. Kick the dog with your foot while swerving into oncoming traffic
2. Approach slowly at steady speed, and as the dog commits to intercepting you, accelerate smoothly out of the dog's intercept angle, maintaining two hands firmly on the controls
3. Stop completely and try to pet the animal
4. Abandon the motorcycle in the middle of the road
