What the New Jersey Driver Manual, Chapter 10: Motorcycle Manual says about night riding and emergencies

  • Wobble

    If the front wheel starts to wobble, grip the handlebars firmly, don't fight the wobble, close the throttle gradually and let the motorcycle slow down; don't brake, which could make it worse. p. 196

  • Off the Road

    When leaving the road, check that the roadside is firm enough to ride on. p. 197

  • Road Hazards

    Even a quick stop may not avoid debris or a pothole that appears after the vehicle ahead passes over it, or a vehicle that stops suddenly; then a quick turn or swerve is the only way to avoid a crash, and the sharper the turn, the more you must lean. p. 197

  • Animals

    Do all you can to avoid small animals, but in traffic don't swerve out of your lane for one: you have a better chance surviving a hit with an animal than with another vehicle. p. 198

  • Riding Over Objects

    When you must ride over an object, hold the grips tightly, keep a straight course so the bike stays upright, and rise slightly on the foot pegs so your arms and legs absorb the shock; afterward, always check the tires for damage. p. 198

  • Flying Objects

    Insects, cigarette butts and rocks kicked up by tires can strike you; without face protection they can hit your eyes, face or mouth, and even with it the shield may smear or crack; keep control, watch the road and keep your hands on the bars, then pull off when it's safe to fix any damage. p. 198
