When stopping at the end of a turn or curve it is proper to motorcycle?
Always use both brakes at the same time to stop. The front brake can provide almost three-quarters of your stopping power. If you must stop quickly while turning or riding a curve, the best technique is to straighten the motorcycle first and then brake.
What’s the fastest way to stop a motorcycle in a curve?

How to ride a motorcycle safely?
Lean: You need to lean the bike into the turn while keeping your body upright. Don’t lean with the bike. Brake: Keep your right hand off the front brake as it will compress the forks and make the front wheel tuck. Use the right foot on the brake pedal to govern your speed, NOT the throttle.
Does your upper body move when you turn in a motorcycle?
Yes, the “sport” of motorcycling requires you being active in the saddle! Our upper body will be going towards the outside of the turn. So if we are trying to turn to the LEFT at slow speed, then our upper body moves to the RIGHT.
How to do a U-turn on a motorcycle?
Look: As you start to do the u-turn, briefly look down to the ground about 2-3m to your immediate right. You go where you look and if you look down for too long you will go down. So quickly lift your gaze and swivel your head as far right as you can. Your body will follow, pulling your arms as well which helps steer the bike.
How do you practice U-turns in a carpark?
