What does riding across uneven surfaces increase the risk of?

Riding across uneven surfaces increases the risk of a fall or crash due to the inherent instability that such conditions create. Uneven surfaces can include potholes, gravel, dirt, or any irregular terrain that disrupts the smooth contact between the motorcycle tires and the ground. This can cause loss of traction, making it difficult to maintain balance and control.

When a motorcycle encounters an obstacle or a sudden change in surface texture, it can shift unexpectedly, leading to the possibility of colliding with a surface or even tipping over. Riders need to be especially cautious in these conditions, as they require quick reflexes and skillful handling to navigate safely. Improved handling, better braking, and enhanced speed are not typically associated with uneven surfaces; in fact, they can compromise your ability to ride safely and effectively in those scenarios.
