What should you take into account when you have to brake unexpectedly sharply while driving around a road bend?
My motorcycle tends to drive straight ahead
I should counter-steer gently
The driving line of my motorcycle remains unchanged
Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation
When you brake sharply while cornering on a motorcycle, two main things happen. First, your motorcycle tends to stand up and go straight ahead because braking reduces the effect of your lean and the tire grip needed for cornering. Second, to help maintain your intended path safely, you should counter-steer gently—this means applying slight pressure on the handlebars in the opposite direction to help balance the motorcycle and stay on your line through the curve. The idea that your riding line remains unchanged is incorrect, because hard braking affects your bike’s trajectory and stability. Knowing this helps you handle emergency braking safely when cornering.
