How should riders be positioned when approaching curves or turns?

When approaching curves or turns, riders should position themselves in a single file formation. This arrangement allows each motorcycle to have sufficient space and a clear line of sight around the curve or turn. Riding in a single file provides better control and maneuverability, minimizing the risk of collisions between riders.

In a single file, the lead rider can assess the curve and make adjustments as needed, while those following can maintain a safe distance, allowing for adequate response time in case of any obstacles or changes in speed. This method also enhances safety by reducing the complexity of interactions between bikes, especially in tight or complex turns where visibility may be limited.

Riding in pairs, staggered formations, or T-formations can be effective in other situations, such as straightaways or wide-open spaces, but they can complicate the dynamics when navigating curves due to potential issues like limited visibility and less room to maneuver safely.
