While a staggered formation is generally recommended, riders in a group should move into a single-file formation when taking curves, taking turns, entering a highway, or leaving a highway.

Ride in a single-file formation.

Ride in a side-by-side formation.

If either of your tires go flat while you are riding, hold the handgrips firmly, ease off the throttle, and maintain a straight course. If you need to brake, gradually apply the brake to the tire that is not flat. As you slow down, edge to the side of the road, squeeze the clutch, and stop.

Brake on the good tire and steer to the side of the road.

Use both brakes and stop quickly.

Shift your weight toward the good tire.

The best way to handle a tailgater is to change lanes and let them pass you. Speeding up may cause them to tailgate you at a higher speed, only increasing the danger. Never ride on the shoulder of a road because drivers will never expect you to be there and may leave the road suddenly.

Change lanes and let them pass.

Not worry about them and just focus on the road in front of you.

Change lanes and let them pass.

Ride on the shoulder and let them pass.

Even if your passenger is also a motorcyclist, you should give them complete safety instructions before leaving on a trip. Ask them to get on the motorcycle only after you have started the engine. They should sit as far forward as possible without crowding you and firmly hold onto your waist, hips, or belt. They should keep both feet on the footrests at all times, even when the bike is stopped.

Mount the motorcycle after the motorcycle has been started.

When riding over a rough surface, hold onto the handgrips firmly to ensure that you will maintain directional control over your motorcycle.

Hold the handgrips firmly to maintain control.

Use lots of throttle to help you get over the rough surface.

Ride without a helmet as the helmet could become loose and cover your face.

While the basic techniques for safely passing and being passed are the same as when driving a car, visibility is more critical when riding a motorcycle. The smaller size of a motorcycle makes it easier for you to disappear into another vehicle's blind spot, or for the driver to fail to notice you even if they are able to see you.

A motorcycle's visibility is more critical than that of a car.

A motorcycle's visibility is not as important as that of a car.

Passing should be done on the shoulder instead of on the main roadway.

It is critical to make eye contact with the other driver when riding a motorcycle.

After mounting your motorcycle, you should make sure the clutch, throttle, horn, and brakes all work properly. Clean and adjust the mirrors and make sure that the fuel supply valve is open.

Make sure the mirrors are clean.

Make sure the clutch works smoothly.

When traveling in a group, it is never recommended for motorcyclists to ride in pairs. Neither rider will have adequate room to maneuver to avoid hazards.

Riding in pairs does not allow riders the necessary space to maneuver.

A merging driver may not see both riders.

Reflections from both helmets may make it difficult for the riders to see.

Riding in pairs does not allow riders the necessary space to maneuver.

It is too difficult for riders on the left side of a pairing to exit a highway.
