Ideally you will have spotted a road sign in your foward obs (assuming it was there) so hopefull should already be prepared for this scenario.

This has happened to me a couple of times - it wasnt a disaster because I was already expecting the unexpected (I do tend to err well on the side of caution most of the time!) I automatically throttled off and stood the bike up as much as possible before braking. (had brown trouser moment though!
