BDifficulty 2/5

When riding a motorcycle, if the road is wet, how should you take a bend?

Correct answer

Reduce speed beforehand, use smooth controls and avoid excessive lean, staying within your lane.

Reduce speed before the bend and maintain a safe path within your lane, using smooth controls and avoiding excessive lean for available grip. A wider-radius path is only appropriate if it fits safely within the lane without encroaching elsewhere. Do not confuse a wider radius with more handlebar turn or assume a larger contact patch guarantees stability.
