How you can avoid the 5 most common motorcycle accidents
Ride Safe : Bends on Country Roads
Most of us do our training on town not country roads. Country roads are different so we need to apply our skills, knowledge and ability in a different way.
Some bends on country roads are smooth and even, opening up once you are into them. Others tighten up dramatically. If you have gone into a bend at too high a speed you will find yourself with a major problem. If the road gives you clues on how it bends then use them. You may see:
- the line of trees
- the path of telegraph poles
- hedges at the side of the road copying the path of the road.
Take care and remember to have something in reserve in case things are not as they appear. If in any doubt, lose more speed before the bend so you have greater room for manoeuvring.
