A1Difficulty 3/5

Riding your motorcycle, you enter a bend at excessive speed because it has a smaller radius than you originally anticipated. How will you act to control your motorcycle?

Correct answer

Stop accelerating and do not brake sharply.

When riding through a bend, having already begun to take it, we find that it has a smaller radius than originally anticipated; this means the bend is tighter and the lean angle of our motorcycle is insufficient. In this situation, we should stop accelerating on the inside of the bend, going as far as to apply the brake gently.
