Correct answer
Reduce speed and ride over the pothole while keeping the motorcycle upright.
Reduce speed before reaching the pothole and keep the motorcycle upright and controlled while crossing it. Observe your path and avoid abrupt changes of direction. Do not accelerate to maximum speed or make manoeuvres that could cause loss of control. If the impact may have damaged the tyre or rim, stop in a safe place to check it.
