What should you do if your motorcycle is about to fall over?

If your motorcycle is about to fall over, the best course of action is to let it fall and avoid trying to hold it up. This approach minimizes the risk of injury to yourself. When you attempt to hold a motorcycle up that is already tipping, you could strain or injure your back or other parts of your body, particularly if the motorcycle is heavy or if you are unable to keep your balance.

By allowing the motorcycle to fall, you create an opportunity to mitigate potential harm. As it goes down, you can step away safely and protect yourself from being knocked over by the bike's weight. Additionally, after the fall, you can safely address and assess any damage to yourself and the motorcycle, without risking injuries that could occur from trying to hold it up in a critical moment.

This understanding highlights the importance of safety and the need to prioritize your well-being over the motorcycle itself. It's crucial for riders to know that while the motorcycle can be repaired or replaced, your personal safety and health cannot.
