When you turn:

When you turn:

• A. Turn your head in the direction you intend to go
• B. Brake before entering the turn
• C. Lean your body only
• D. Look through the turn to where you want to go

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that your gaze guides your motorcycle. Where you look determines the path your bike takes. By looking through the turn to the exit and to where you want to end up, you set up a smooth line, control your lean and speed more predictably, and stay aware of hazards on the approach and in the exit. This habit helps you ride with balance and confidence, because the eyes lead the body, and the rest of your inputs (throttle, brakes, steering) follow that intended path. Braking before entering is good technique, but it relates to speed management rather than where you’re looking as you pass through the turn. Simply turning your head toward the direction you intend to go isn’t as effective as keeping your eyes fixed on the exit and the path you want to follow. Leaning alone doesn’t establish the route—you need to look ahead to guide the bike.
